The buffalo raised in India and those commonly raised in Thailand are two different types. The Indian type is a dairy breed. The Thai type is for ploughing and meat. Whether or not anyone is raising dairy buffalo in Thailand I don't know. Perhaps someone else does know?

The Italians use buffalo milk to make the best Mazzarela cheese. It is the best taisting due to its high fat content. A proper Neopolitan pizza must have cheese made from Buffalo milk. Its very expensive and very hard to get.

not the same buffalo; and nutrition deoends in what u are looking for: cholesteral, lactose etc

camel milk is very sweet and heavy but the beduins swear by it for all sorts of things

i prefer goat milk to all

buffalo is ok in coffee whereas goat milk in nescafe is disgusting
