Milking a Fashoosh camel at the world camel day 2019
The camel milk is different from other milks. It is unique from many points but here, I shall share something about the fats of the camel milk (CaM). First of all, I would like to that CaM fats have shorter molecular size, which is homogenized in the milk and highly digestible. The following table shows the fats molecules length compared to other species milk.
Also, the CaM fatty acids are special and very healthy for heart and vascular system. The camel milk is rich with long chain unsaturated fatty acids and Omega and CLA.
