The milk of other mammals (especially cattle, goats and sheep) as a food product.
Source
Dairy milk is collected from farm animals. Milk is processed into a variety of products such as cream, butter, yogurt, kefir, ice cream, and cheese. Modern industrial processes use milk to produce casein, whey protein, lactose, condensed milk, powdered milk, and many other food-additives and industrial products. Milk has been produced from cattle, sheep, goats, yaks, water buffalo, horses, reindeer and camels.In Russia and Sweden, small moose dairies also exist.
