History

•         Mare’s milk is an ancient beverage.

•         In Mongolia 13^th century Chinggis khan was used for soldier before the battle field

•         In Russia before Revolution has been used Mare’s milk Sanatorium for the anti Tuberculosis.

Milking season

•         In Mongolia, the milking season for horses traditionally runs between mid-June and early October. During one season, a mare produces approximately up to 500-700 L of milk. Every 2 hrs during daytime and 6-8 times per day.

Where do we use mare’s milk

•         Mongolia, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan

•         Turkey

•         Germany

•         Belgium,

•         France,

•         the Netherlands and

•         Norway.

The composition of mare’s milk

•         Fat

•         Sugar

•         Protein

•         Minerals and vitamins

•         Enzyme

Fat

•         It has a lower fat content and large amount of short, long chained polyunsaturated fatty acids.

•         Content of Omega-3 fatty acids (alfa linolen acid) are high. It is important  to growth and reproduction of skin, learning ability, normal conditions in the retina and vision.

•          More content of olein, palmitin and octadecatrien acids

•         Fat-resembling substances that contribute in the transfer of certain nerve impulses. Among others is the regulation of blood pressure.

Protein and enzymes

1. Mare’s milk is, together with human mother’s milk, classified as one of the types of albumin-milk.  
2. Nourishing (nutritional) effect -Casein content: 1.3 %
3. Whey-proteins: 1.0 %
4. Digestive -When fermented/leavened, the curd of mare’s milk creates water solvable flakes. This is easy to digest.
5. The essential aminoacids constitute 42-58% of all aminoacids in mare’s milk
6. Antibacterial effect –lysozyme
7. Immunoprotective- α- lactoalbumin 3,5 more than cow’s milk, Lactoferrin, IgA, IgG, IgM,

Sugar

•         Lactose (disacharide) content: 5.8g (per 100 g)-contains the “bidifus-factor”. Gut protection against infection

•         Glucose content: 6.7% -is important function related to the body’s absorption of calcium and it also prevents storage of fat in the liver.

Minerals and vitamins

•         Contents of vitamins –A, B1, B2, PP, B15, B12, C and E.

•         Mare’s milk contains more vitamin C, A, B1, B2, and B12 than cow’s milk.

•         It contains magnesium, potassium, nitrogen, calcium, phosphorous and sodium (Mg, K, N, Ca, P and Na).

•         Calcium contents is close to the optimal absorption of calcium in humans.

Mare’s milk contains enough carnitin to prevent the malnutrition of infants

•         If diarrhea is occurred more than 2 days should reduce dosage of mare’s milk.

•         Day by day can increase dosage of mare’s milk in order to adaptation for GI tract.

Method of use:

•         1). Dry/Powder (100 g)

•         1 table spoon and dissolve 80-100 ml boiled water and 2-3 times a day, 20-30 min before meals

•         2). Ice (200-250 ml)

•         Before using should shake it, after defrost can be drink. First day 100 ml, second day 200 ml, 3-5 times in a day.
