Mare milk is milk lactated by female horses, known as mares, to feed their foals. It is rich in whey protein, polyunsaturated fatty acids and vitamin C,[1] and is a key ingredient in kumis. In several European countries, including Germany, it is sold powdered.[1]
Mare milk is sometimes chosen over cow milk for its purported health benefits. A niche market considers it a remedy for skin or digestive problems. Peer-reviewed papers suggest it can reduce atopic dermatitisoreczema.[2] It is used to make cosmetics and can form cheese with camel rennet, but not bovine.[3]
