Which is better Milk; Cow’s milk or buffalo’s milk?

By | May 22, 2018

kjkjCow’s Milk or buffalo’s milk? Confused? Hmmmm…

Image Source 

There are many negatives and positives of both the types of milk. In Layman’s terms cow’s milk is understood to be very lighter and buffalo milk is considered to be heavy for digestion.

Apart from this not much information is known. But at the same time, milk is a very important part of the diet. There are good number of Indians who have more than half a litre of dairy in thier diet

Now what’s behind being heavy and light? What is really making the difference in the quality of milk? When a baby is born and top feeding of milk has to be started we usually hear our elders saying that cow milk is good for baby’s digestion and it’s also lighter for the baby.

Differences

Fat content: First line of difference is the fat present in both the milk. It makes the consistency of milk differ. Cow’s milk has low % of fat in it hence it is of thin consistence and thereby called to be lighter by a layman.

Buffalo’s milk is high in fat % and is thicker than cow’s milk and hence called heavy. As we know that a fatty food takes time for digestion and absorption and it stays in the stomach for a longer time giving us a feeling of heavy stomach or stomach fullness similarly buffalo milk has high fat and hence it takes time for digestion.

So cow’s milk is recommended over buffalo’s milk especially for infants and elders.

Buffalo milk contains cholesterol. So for many people who are suffering from diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, kidney diseases, PCOD, Obesity etc are advised to have cow’s milk.

Due to high peroxidase activity, buffalo milk can be preserved naturally for a longer period. Buffalo milk contains more calcium, better calcium: phosphorous ratio and less sodium and potassium than in cow milk which makes it a better nutritional supplement for infants.

Protein content: Proteins present in buffalo milk is higher than that of cow’s milk by approximately 11%. Buffalo milk protein is more heat resistant. Same like fats even proteins are difficult to digest for infants and older population. So even here the choice of milk is cow’s milk.

Calorie Content: 100ml of cow’s milk contains 70Kcals whereas 100ml of buffalo’s milk contains 100Kacls. It is obvious that buffalo milk has more fat and proteins so it will have more calories. So people who are on calorie restricted diet are again here advised to have cow’s milk to cut down the calorie consumption in the diet.

Water content: Cow’s milk contains less milk solids as compared to buffalo’s milk. Because of high non solid % cow’s milk is sometimes denoted as watery milk. It helps in hydrating the body. Approximately 90% of milk is water.

Composition of milk.

Nutrient          Cow    Buffalo           Human                      

Water, g          88.0     84.0                 87.5

Energy, kcal    61.0     97.0                 70.0

Protein, g         3.2       3.7                   1.0

Fat, g               3.4       6.9                   4.4

Lactose, g        4.7      5.2                   6.9

Minerals, g      0.72     0.79                0.20

If you look at the above composition of cow’s and buffalo’s milk, the values are close to each other, except for fat. In usual Indian practise, if we use full fat milk that is our cow’s milk then we generally use it the next  day. So we boil today, remove the cream tomorrow and then use it. So we can expect that we have removed quite a good amount of fat from our  milk.  this makes your milk low in fat. And depending your requirement of body you can make choices of milk.

Your pasteurized milk will always have composition of milk. So before buying any milk, try to read the composition. Compare it between the available options you have and then make choice. And lastly I would recommend that  you try to choose milk which is locally available and do not choose milk which you have to hunt every time.

Milk  hence a very healthy food unless it’s not adulterated. It is very important to check the quality of milk before purchasing. Adulteration  done with water, starch, white colour, shampoo etc. So everyone please purchase milk in packaged form or from a reputed dairy. These days animals are injected with artificial hormones which in passed in milk as well. So overall restrict your dairy consumption upto 400ml per day.

    You have mentioned : “Buffalo milk contains cholesterol. So for many people who are suffering from diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, kidney diseases, PCOD, Obesity etc are advised to have cow’s milk.”

    But as per all other sources on internet, buffalo milk contains lesser cholesterol than cow’s milk. That’s some contradiction there.

      Hello Aditya,

      Basically, more amount of saturated fat in diet will produce cholesterol in your body. So since buffalo milk is high in fat, it is restricted.

      Hello Khushnuma,
      In case of calcium deficiency why will bones grow?
      Please take second opinion.
      Where are you from?
      You can give him 500ml cow’s milk in a day.
      Also Banana, ragi, cheese, paneer are good source of calcium which you can add to his diet.

    Can you please clarify this?

      Long answer… but…
      Commercial milk is not generally fortified with B12.

      I wouldn’t worry too much about the cholesterol in milk. If you read the cautionary warnings, Cholesterol lowering drugs are known to cause diabetes in some people, Even though milk is fortified with D3, it is important to get some exposure to sunlight every day so that the skin can manufacture its own Vitamin D.
      As for calcium absorption, be sure you are not deficient in magnesium.

      If one is a diabetic, reduce caloric intake by cutting out starchy carbs as much as possible. Walk for at least 30 min. each day. Walking improves blood circulation which improves the functioning of all the organs of the body and helps rid itself of toxins.

      Eat a variety of vegetable for nutrition, Omega 3 fats such as Krill oil. Avoid all refined and chemically extracted oils and fats.

      Eat about 40-50 g of high quality protein.
      Yogurt, kefir and a bit prebiotics will improve the type and quantity of the intestinal flora which is very important for the mitochondria which manufactures ATP, the useable fuel for the body.

      Also go organic, to reduce pesticide residue, and drink and cook using only high quality water for the same reason. Modern chemical farming and growth hormones fed to animals are a major cause of obesity which can lead to diabetes and other chronic conditions.

She was on Neocate 1,5 month and we had to switch her to a goat’s milk due high cost of Neocate milk.

          Hello Alok,
          I would suggest to stick to cow’s milk if she has got used to it. Do not worry about her weight if she is active. You should be introducing her top feed now.. So dont experiment on milk. Start giving her mashed dal, fruit pulp, mashed khichdi etc. start adding small amount of ghee also.

    Hi…. my baby is 2 months old and i started giving her buffalo milk by adding water in it in the ratio 2:1. She digests the milk and has no problem. Is buffalo milk good for my baby?

    Read the questions& answers which satisfied me.But today doctors often prescribe costly powdered milk for the newborn babies when the babies do not get breast milk of their mothers.In this situation it is very much difficult for the poor parents to purchase costly branded powdered milk.Then what is the remedy for the poor parents who live from hand to mouth.Can a newborn baby consume cows milk if it is available in the villages?

      Hello Keshab,
      If affordability is an issue then have to rely on cow’s milk. Mother’s milk will have some immunoglobulins which builds up child’s immunity. So these branded formulas are made very close to mother’s milk. Hence it is costly and recommended by doctors.

      Hi Karina, how do you know that ur breast milk is not enough? Every mother. Produces enough for their child. Still if you feel so consult lactation consultant and increase your milk supply. Else use breast pump to pp your milk after your infant has fed, this will surely increase your milk supply. Do not start formula unless unavoidable. Formula do not have active enzymes and antibodies which your milk has.

      It is advisable to give exclusive breast milk till 5-6months. Why are you in hurry to give her top feed. Give the stomach and intestine to become strong enough to digest those heavy foods.

      Dear Mr Alok Kumar,

      I would advise to shift to Soymilk. It will give you optimum benefits what you expect from Cow’s milk or buffalo milk. You could be lactose intolerant hence not able to digest milk. You can try having curd. If you can digest curds then you can replace your daily milk serving with curds. Cow’s milk should be used for less fat content as compared to buffalo milk.

      Dear Priya,

      Lactogen or Nan1 are the best substitute to the mother’s breast milk. As the formulation is being kept very close to human milk. SO continue using lactogen exclusively till 6 months and later you can start weaning the baby and add semi solid foods gradually along with cow’s milk.

      Dear MJ,

      2 months is a very small age to start Cow’s milk or Cerelac. Kindly follow doctor’s advise. Lactogen is a formula milk and its composition is close to breast milk. So without any second thought please start lactogen-1. Do not feed baby anything apart from lactogen till she completes 5 months. If you feel her iron levels are low you can check with her doctors and start iron syrup but definitely nothing other than this

    Hello Dr. Kava,

    Thank you very much for your highly informative post. It clears many confusions I had regarding the merits and demerits of these two types of milk.
    I have following two questions.
    1. The protein content of buffalo milk is relatively higher. But does it contain all the 8 essential amino acids like cow milk?
    2. If a person has lactose intolerance and is advised not to take any sort of milk, can you suggest some natural vegetarian foods that contain all the essential amino acids? Pulses are very commonly used in India which have high protein content, but as far as I know, most of them do not contain tryptophan and some other amino acids. Are soybean and groundnut suitable for this purpose?

    Reply
    1. Neha Kava Post author

      Hello Mr. Ghosh,

      If you are lactose intolerant you can definitely concentrate on soy milk as source of protein. Whey protein is excellent source of protein. Whey protein is portrayed as protein used only by weight lifters which is a myth. Calculated amount of whey protein can be taken by any person. 0.8gms per kg present body weight i.e if you weight 60kgs doing sedentary or low active then 60*0.8= 48gms protein should come from your diet. Protein intake should increase according to your physical activity.

So, we, the Indians should have to follow our ancient Indian culture in which it is said that the cow is our MOTHER…

The A2 milk contains Cosomorphin which is harmful for siblings. The milk obtained from the Indian cows known as A2, which is preferred for human consumption.

      Cow’s Milk can be introduced to the baby after 6 months of age. SO in your case you can surely try cow’s milk to your baby. Start with diluting with water and then slowly reduce the quantity of water and give pure cow’s milk. Also watch out for any gastric symptoms. If incase he is allergic to milk sugar than he might have stomach discomfort. So after giving cows milk just chk if he is digesting it well.

    is there any way to find out at home, if the cow’s milk is not from a cow who has been eating garbage ? i am told by my store, the milk is from desi cow . i want to be sure, that im fooled with milk from cows feeding on garbage.

    Reply
    1. Neha Kava Post author

      Hi Vidushi,
      It would be difficult to find that out. As all the milk collected is combined and then it undergoes pasteurization before reaching us. And as breastmilk composition of all mothers is more or less same, similarly it is for cow’s irrespective of her diet.

Is this quantity enough for her or i should increase milk intake as i am trying hard to quit breastfeed. she is also underweight and very bad in eating (although i try alot). please tel me if i can give her banana/apple/strawberry milkshake(as she takes few sips of it sometime) . wont it upset baby tummy in terms of frequent stool pass? i will be waiting for your reply

    1. Neha Kava Post author

      Hi Sadia,
      You can continue the milk and yogurt feeds. Apart from that try giving her food is very soft form or semi mashed form. If she has got teeth then give her solid but still kids prefer soft food over solid. Solid food can be introduced to them just for taste purpose as they will not be able to consume in the quantity which should fill them up. Also give her good fat in the diet ( e.g pure ghee, cheese). Add vegetables in the pureed form. You can continue to giver her whole fruit instead of juices. Home made juices will be the best.

Increasing body weight is also as critical as loosing weight. For further guidance mail on info@nutrichoice4u.com

      Hello Sweta,
      Every child is different. Give what suits best to your child. Cow’s milk never results in cough. there is always something else accelerating it. Stick to buffalo milk if your child is comfortable. Don’t over do with milk. 500ml- 600ml in 24hrs should be more than enough.

      Hello Swapnil,
      You can increase the frequency if feed or the quantity. If quantity he is not able to tolerate then increase frequency. Give him 30-30ml every hour till the time your wife is with the baby. Or else you can give 45ml for few days check the tolerance and then increase upto 60ml. Anything new to the baby will show some effects. Do not worry. Continue trial and error. Do not start cows milk, Continue nan pro 1 only.

    Hello Neha ji,

    I went through your blog post above and cloud conclude that Cow milk is always a better choice over buffalo’s milk, since you told that buffalo’s milk has fats that are not recommended. Please can you let us know –

    What bad effects can be caused from such un-recommended fat that we drink in buffalo’s milk?

    I had once read about 2 types of milks of cows- A1 and A2 types. Amongst which A1 type of milk can even cause cancers. How do we differentiate which milk we are getting from the dairy? Is there any way to recognise which cow’s breed is best for milk?

    We can see cows roaming on piles of garbage on roads. Today, usual diet of a cow is polythene and garbage dumped by sweepers outside our backyards. Cows are always found suffering from indigestion. We feel that this garbage causes health hazards if we inhale the gases it produces. In this case how can we expect good quality of milk from cows?

    Even trusted dairies purchase milk from cow owners who leave their cows to roam on roads after they get the milk out of them. Though dairies do some sort of treatments after they purchase such milk. Still is it safe to drink such milk which was produced by cow after having a diet of garbage?

    If the cow her self is not getting a proper diet how can we expect the milk will have all the nutrients? In such case where should we go to get good milk?

    If we talk about packaged milk, I have recent heard news about plastic bottles that are used for baby feeding are a huge factor causing many diseases in infants. Can the plastic bags used for milk packaging do similar side effects?

    It will be a great help if you give your views on all the above points and remove my doubts. I don’t drink milk since I don’t consider buffalo’s milk as drinkable and when it comes about cow’s milk, we don’t get a quality milk from a healthy cow. There are rarely any healthy cows left.

    1. Neha Kava Post author

      Hello Aradhya,
      Cow’s milk is better in terms of its nutritional content in comparison to buffalo milk. But for again it depends on the requirement and way you use the milk. If you use buffalo milk on the next day after completely skimming the cream i dont think that buffalo milk have a problem.

      I am not qualified to recognize the breed of the cow. Sorry 🙁

      As in humans the quality of milk will not change with respect to mother’s diet. Same is the case with cows.

      Packaged milk has expiry date that takes in to account the sustainability of the milk.

      Plastic bottles used for infants should be always of a good quality. It is advisable to use branded plastics to avoid such infections and poisoning in infants.

      Hi Khurram,
      You can definitely try cow’s milk. Just check wether you are allergic to lactose. Lactose intolerance will cause problems with any kind of milk. Lactose intolerance patients can digest curds but not milk. So Check for lactose intolerance. If you have lactose intolerance you can switch to soya milk.

      Is your baby allergic to whey that is protein in the milk or the baby is allergic to lactose that is the sugar in the milk. Both are different components. If allergic to milk protein then any formula feed will contain milk solids or any component of milk. I think you can give your baby soya milk as of now. And you can try cow’s milk after a year or two just to check it’s tolerance. It happens that in early stage of life infants don’t digest but as they grow they can tolerate cow’s milk. Is your baby able to tolerate curds?
      Waiting for your reply.

      Regards,
      Neha

        Thanks for your reply. With respect to curd, not sure as when he had it, symptoms of allergy were already present. He is allergic to cow’s protein and not lactose. Availability of soya milk would be difficult here. Is soya really a milk?? I heard its not really a milk and not good for children. Also Nido 1+ would also have protein element or not??

    Hi Neha,
    During Pregnancy, is it necessary to take milk, since I don’t like milk. If I take without interest I may vomit. So please tell me the importance of milk intake during pregnancy and the quantity to take which is required for baby and mother. Can I take milk and corn flakes in the morning.
    Also suggest me the foods/drinks to take instead of milk consumption which may give same nutrients as milk provide.

      Hi there,
      Milk is usually recommended to increase your intake of calcium and protein. If you include supplements for the same there is not such specific to have milk only. You can have milk in invisible form that is knead you chapati dough with milk, Add milk powder to the flour, or any hot snacks item like dhokla, Muthiya, idli batter etc.
      You can take cornflakes with milk for breakfast. that’s absolutely OK.

    Hi, I was wondering what’s better for weight training (buffalo or cow)?
    I’m not fat, but i think buffalo is good because of its percentage of protein.

      Hi,
      You need to check the fat also that comes in with protein. So you have to choose wether you want a low fat milk or a high protein milk. I would suggest Cow’s Milk

      Hi Anita,
      Your baby can be given whole milk undoubtedly. Cholesterol is required for baby’s brain development. So no harm to give your baby whole fat milk also.

      Hi Gul,
      You can carry out the following test for milk’s purity.
      Milk slip test – Put a drop of milk on a polished vertical surface. If it stops or flows slowly, leaving a white trail behind, it is pure milk. Milk mixed with water or other agents will flow down immediately without a trace.

      Reduction test – Boil some milk on a slow heat while moving it with a spoon till it becomes solid (khoya). Take it off the heat and wait for 2-3 hours. If the produced solid is oily, the milk is of good quality; if it’s not, it means the milk is synthetic.

      Hi Shazia,
      It’s an ancient myth that milk & its products increases the cough formation in the body. But a serving of 200-250 ml in day would not cause any side effects. Just make sue you boil milk properly.

      Buffalo Milk is good for young children provided they are physically active. You just need to skim the milk so there is no excess fat in milk which may cause problem in the future.

      Cow’s milk is a natural medicine for many problems. But purity of the milk is the BIG question mark. Specifically for eye sight cow’s milk doesn’t do wonder. You can try a herbal supplement called “Vision Health” by Amway. It had good results.

      Hello Fayyan,
      Lactating cows are usually given hormonal injections to increase their milk production.There is some amount of hormones which transfer to milk also. So excess feeding of milk should be restricted. Moderate amounts are tolerable by kids. Boiling milk properly will help to reduce the side effects, if any.

      Hi Vijay.
      You can start with cow’s milk. Weaning baby from breast milk to mash foods is recommended but complete No breastfeeding is not recommended. Minimum 18months of breast feeding is required for the baby to have good immunity. After 18months you can start your efforts to stop breast feeding.

      Hello Prabhat,
      Cow’s milk is beneficial for over all development of any person. Brain cells do require fat which is sufficiently present in Cow’ Milk/
      Buffaloes milk is also good but it has many other factors which makes it little inferior for eg. Buffalo milk is high in Cholesterol.

      Hello Ganga,
      Skipping a cup of milk followed by a headache is definitely a sign of addiction. It’s not harmful if u take 2-3 small cups of tea in a day. Anything in moderation is good. If you want to go away from this addiction you can reduce the quantity of tea powder you put in your tea gradually and stop its intake.

      Hi Pooja. Cow’s milk has properties and composition very close to breast milk. So when you start weaning your baby it is best suggested to start with cow’s milk. Initially add 1 tablespoon of water to 50ml of cow’s milk and feed the baby. Slowly as your baby gets used to it you can reduced the addition of milk and and give pure cow’s milk with some pure honey added.

          Hello Prashanth,
          40 days old baby should be on exclusive breast feeding. But if you are already giving nan pro 1, continue the same. Add enough water as prescribed on the box. Give luke warm water. And kids sometimes pass motion once in 2 days or 3 days. So nothing to worry.

      Hi Kaleem.Definitely Buffalo milk has more fat but the quality of fat is not recommended. Instead you can have frequent meals and also include 2 bananas, 1 egg, 2 glass of cow’s milk and sprouts in your diet additional to your regular meal. If all this is not comfortable then 2 tablespoon ENsure twice a day in Cow’s milk will definitely help to gain some weight in 3 months.
