World's First "Moose Milk" Farm

World's First "Moose Milk" Farm AG WORLD 27-2-23 Moose milk contains about twice as much protein as cow's milk and about five times more fat. It also contains essential amino acids at levels much higher than cow's milk and has a high concentration of Lysozyme, an enzyme which helps destroy bacteria and increases the body's resistance to disease. According to writer Bryan Alexander in the British magazine, Farmer's Weekly, those facts were discovered by a Russian scientist at a moose research farm who was surprised when he discovered that drinking moose milk had apparently healed his stomach ulcer. He contacted doctors at a nearby gastro intestinal treatment center who started using moose milk to treat severe ulcers. Results have been fantastic, with more than 87 percent of serious ulcers completely healed after a 21-day course of treatment. They also use it in the treatment of cancer. Not as a cure but to build up patients' immune system. The Sumarokova moose farm in Russia, owned and operated by the government, now runs a herd of 58 moose exclusively for milk. The period of lactation for moose is 120 to 140 days, from mid-June until September, so a supply of moose milk is frozen for later use. The Ivan Susanin Health Centre has a contract with the moose farm to buy 500 liters of moose milk a year. Farm workers say moose have proven to be very difficult to domesticate. Despite their docile cow-like appearance, moose can be dangerous. They often weigh well over 1,000 lbs. Most of the milking is done by hand but it's easier on the back than milking a cow because they're so tall an average size person can stand up during milking. Farmer's Weekly (www.fwi.co.uk)
