Among many foods, pure milk can be regarded as a [model raw]-100% raw milk, rich in protein and calcium without addition, and more importantly, the price is not expensive, and one cup a day has no pressure.
However… why are they all 100% raw milk and pure milk of different brands in different countries with different tastes?
In fact, this is largely because the major brands of milk will vary in the source of milk and the breeds of cows. Today, let’s see which [cow model workers] are serving us.
First of all, let’s clarify a concept. We often refer to [cows] as cows specially bred to produce milk, not a certain breed of cattle. There are nearly 100 breeds of cows in the world, the most famous of which are the following.
Holstein)
The star [black and white] cow with the largest number and highest milk yield.
The [star] in the dairy industry has the largest number of cows raised in the world, the highest milk yield and the most familiar [black and white] cows, which is my Holstein cow.
I used to live in Holland, but because of my strong viability, most countries in the world can raise it. After long-term domestication and systematic breeding in various countries, I have my [relatives] all over the world.
For example, the Chinese Holstein cow, the cow with the highest milk yield in China, was gradually formed by cross breeding between me and Chinese yellow cattle at the end of the 19th century.
Little knowledge: There are no 2 Holstein cows with exactly the same black and white patterns.
Jersey)
The most beautiful cow with both talent and appearance.
Beautiful and shiny brown fur, big eyes, long eyelashes… I am [the winner of the most beautiful cow]-Juan Shan cow.
It could have been based on color, but I had to rely on strength. The milk we produce is thick, with an average fat content of 3.6% compared with ordinary milk. The milk fat rate can reach 4.6%, and the protein content is also higher. It is very suitable for making dairy products such as butter, cheese and ice cream.
Although our milk production is not as good as Holstein’s milk, we have won the [Most Efficient] Cow Award because of our small size and considerable milk production.
Ayrshire)
Living Cows with Super Adaptability
As a strong competitor of Juanshan Cattle, our Elshire Cattle is also considered to be one of the most beautiful dairy breeds.
Originally living in Alshire, England, but because of its adaptability, we can now be seen in most pastures around the world. Our milk is rich in protein and the milk fat/protein ratio is also ideal, which is very consistent with modern people’s preference for milk.
Lively cows with super adaptability are different from most docile cows. Our character is more lively.
Little knowledge: Elshire cattle can sleep standing up!
Brown Swiss)
Probably the oldest cow in the world
I am the [elder] of the cow family-Swiss brown cow. There are historical records about us as early as 400 BC, which is probably the oldest cow in the world.
Although the name is Swiss [Brown] Cow, in fact our fur color may also be gray, even black and white. Originally living in the Swiss Alps, we now live in many pastures in the United States and Australia.
We have big furry ears and gentle character. Due to the high protein/fat ratio in milk, our milk is also a good raw material for Swiss cheese.
Milking Shorthorn)
The all-round player in the cow
As all-round players among cows, our milk short-horned cows can not only produce milk, but also provide delicious beef and even be strong enough to pull carts.
We used to live in the northeast of England, but now we also live in pastures in the United States, Australia and other countries.
Guernsey)
A2 milk production accounts for the highest proportion of [aristocratic cows]
On Yan’s value, we may not be as good as Juan Shan Niu. In terms of milk yield, we are not as good as Holstein cattle. But in terms of milk nutrition, we are better than cows and do not lose to any cattle.
Our milk is rich in protein, milk fat, vitamin D, vitamin A and calcium. Because of this, we are also called “noble cows”.
Little knowledge: Gengsai cow is also the breed with the highest proportion of A2 milk production among all cows.
Therefore, in addition to biological classification, cows are also divided into A1 and A2 cows according to the difference in casein contained in milk produced by cows.
