Interest in camel milk is growing, and gigantic farms are being established in more and more countries to meet the growing demand. In the Middle East and other regions, camel milk has long played an important role in the food supply, and now it looks like this popular drink could become a central player in the industry.

The centuries-old tradition of camel milk production has long been well known in the region, and due to its economic benefits, more and more small farms are engaged in keeping camel cows. In addition, however, large-scale dairy farms, where industrial quantities of milk are produced, are multiplying rapidly. These farms often keep thousands of camels and milk the animals with machines.

The camel is an ideal farm animal for people living in hot and extreme climates. It requires little water and adapts well to the desert environment. In addition, it emits less methane than other pets, so it can also be considered environmentally friendly. In addition, the camel easily carries loads, and the most gorgeous individuals are even awarded at beauty contests, reports The Conversation.
