One of the characteristics of buffalo milk is its high fat content. Literature shows that the fat content of buffalo milk is about 4% ~ 6%, and the highest is 7.59%, which is much higher than that of ordinary milk (3.0% ~ 4.0%). At the same time, buffalo milk is usually used to make desserts such as ginger milk and double skin milk because of its high protein and fat content and sweet taste.
However, the nutritional components of raw milk are not equal to processed products. When raw milk is processed, its various components should be standardized by blending, and the larger fat globules in buffalo milk will also be reduced by processing. Therefore, how high the fat content is in all kinds of buffalo milk processing products depends on the nutritional composition table on the product packaging. For example, the package of buffalo milk is marked as 100g, and the product contains 3.8g of fat, so this is the real fat content of the product. Some high-quality milk on the market, the fat content of 100g products can also reach 3.6g or 3.8g.? [3]?
Study on composition of milk

Li Shengli, a professor at China Agricultural University and an authoritative expert on modern dairy system research, pointed out that the detection of milk components is influenced by many factors, such as variety, lactation stage, yield per unit area and diet environment. In the high-yield period, milk will become thinner, and the dry matter content of nutrition will be lower, while in the late lactation period, it will be higher. In this way, the comparison data of nutritional components between buffalo milk and Holstein milk will be in a large span, and there will be many different versions of nutritional data. Generally speaking, the comprehensive nutritional value of buffalo milk is about 0.8 times that of 65438+ black and white cow milk, which is superior to ordinary milk.
Breeding status
Yang Bingzhuang, director of the Buffalo Research Institute of China Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said that there are more than 22 million buffaloes in China. In Guangdong and Fujian, commercial buffalo processing has a history of 400 years, and the main products are traditional yogurt and other products in China. As early as the end of 19, farmers in southern China took local buffalo milking as a sideline, and made flavored products such as "milk cake", "milk tofu", "milk skin" and "ginger milk" for sale, forming a traditional snack that has been handed down to this day. There are 18 enterprises involved in buffalo milk processing in China, accounting for about 20% of the national buffalo milk production, and buffalo milk products are exported to Southeast Asian countries.

The number of Asian buffaloes is about 65.438+0.68 billion, accounting for 97% of the total number of buffaloes in the world. The buffalo industry in India, Pakistan and other countries is in the forefront of the world. Many countries, such as China, the Philippines, Myanmar, Thailand and so on. Trying to turn buffalo into milk or meat. Some countries in the world that didn't have buffaloes before, such as the United States and Britain, also began to introduce buffaloes for milk production.

Due to the huge differences in geographical conditions, 80% of China's milk resources are concentrated in the northern region, and the milk production in southern provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions is much lower than that in the north, resulting in uneven development between the north and the south, and the dairy industry is facing the embarrassing situation of "transferring milk from the north to the south". Experts said that vigorously developing the buffalo industry, for consumers, the nutritional advantages of buffalo itself can also provide consumers with one more choice, which can achieve better nutritional complementarity and meet the growing nutritional needs of consumers. More importantly, it is of positive significance to gradually expand the development of buffalo industry and further alleviate the existing pattern in china dairy.

The milk is thick, and it tastes delicious when drunk directly. However, due to its excellent quality and high-quality milk buffalo, the yield per unit area is scarce. [2]? So the price of buffalo milk and dairy products is much higher than that of milk milk. In Guangxi, the main producing area of buffalo in China, the purchase price of fresh buffalo milk per kilogram is 4 yuan, while the black-and-white cow milk is only 1.5 yuan -2 yuan; In Italy, the price of buffalo milk is three times that of black and white milk, the former is per kilogram 1 USD, the latter is 0.3 USD, and buffalo cheese is 25 USD per kilogram, which is nearly four times that of black and white milk cheese.
According to the article "buffalo milk and its products" in China Dairy Industry 1992, Volume 20, page 92, the vitamin A content of buffalo milk is 1669 IU/L, which is equivalent to about 50 micrograms of vitamin A per 1 00g, which is1times higher than that of milk on the market.
