'''Mare milk''' is a type of [[milk]] produced by female [[horse]]s, known as mares, for their foals. It has been consumed by humans in various cultures and is particularly important in traditional [[Mongolian cuisine]].

==Composition and Nutritional Value==
Mare milk is rich in [[vitamin C]], [[protein]], and [[minerals]]. It has a unique composition compared to other types of milk, such as cow's milk or goat's milk. Mare milk contains less fat and more lactose, making it lighter and sweeter. It is also noted for its high levels of [[lysozyme]], an enzyme with powerful antibacterial properties.

==Culinary Uses==
Mare milk is used in a variety of culinary applications. In Mongolia, it is fermented to produce a traditional alcoholic beverage known as [[airag]]. In other regions, it is used to make cheese, butter, and other dairy products. However, due to its unique composition, the process of making cheese from mare milk is more complex than with cow's milk.

==Health Benefits==
Consumption of mare milk has been associated with several health benefits. It is easily digestible and is often recommended for individuals with lactose intolerance. The high levels of lysozyme in mare milk also contribute to its potential health benefits, as this enzyme can help to boost the immune system and fight off bacterial infections.

==Production==
The production of mare milk is a labor-intensive process, as mares produce less milk than cows and need to be milked more frequently. The majority of the world's mare milk is produced in Mongolia and other parts of Central Asia, where horse breeding is a significant part of the local economy.
