- AlotOfReading 6y agoLactose is present in all mammal milks to some degree and thus lactase persistence can have some benefits regardless of the specific animal the milk comes from.
- nkurz 6y agoYou might be thinking of a different animal. An ox isn't a good choice as an milking animal, as it typically is a castrated male bovine. If female, it would at least produce milk, but then it would just be a cow used for plowing, and would have the same milk as a dairy cow: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ox https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ox. Maybe you mean a water buffalo?
- scns 6y agoGoats milk aminoprofile is closer to human milk. Cows milk is 90/10 casein/wheyprotein, goats milk is 60/40 or 40/60 IIRC.
