It probably has to do with ease of milking the animal. Cows and goats stand high off the ground, they also have udders. I think pigs have nipples similar to a dog, where they lie on their side so the baby can suckle. Perhaps some people have milked a pig by hand, but I imagine it would be more difficult to hook a milking machine up to those little nipples in order to collect enough milk for mass market.

Cows, being larger animals, feeding a larger baby, might also produce more milk on a daily basis than would a pig.

But I'd guess that the main reason is because of the large, accessible udder on the cow or goat which makes milking easier.

Porcine do lactate and their milk I will assume would taste great, because it is made of 8.5% fat in relation to the fat that makes up 3.5% of the components in cows milk. The other components such as lactose and water are found at nearly the same percentages in pig's milk. However, pigs will on average produce 13 lbs of milk in a day as compared to cows that produce 65 lbs of milk on average per day. Pigs unlike cows cannot become pregnant while lactating and therefore possess a severe economic problem to producers. whfle pigs consume less feed per day, economics does not allow pigs to be a viable source of dairy products.

The biggest challenge facing the porcine dairy industry is collecting the product. Pigs on average have fourteen teats as opposed to cows that have four teats. Pigs also differ from cows in their milk ejection time, a cows milk ejection is stimulated by the hoimone oxytocin and can last ten minutes, where as a pig's milk ejection time only last fifleen seconds as the suckling pigs stimulate the release of oxytoc in. The technology of a 14 cupped mechanized milking machine that can milk a pig in 15 seconds is not available to pork producers.

Cause they dont produce enough milk to make the effort worht it

It probably isn't good for you either. They're starting to realise that a lot of cow's milk isn't good for people. And many people have lactose intolerance issues and may not realise it. They end up with gas and bellyaches and don't know why.

Think about how much more of what is consumed by the animal goes to its milk than its flesh for its young--and then think of what pigs eat.

That"s a great question. I have no idea but I will keep checking back because I would like to know myself. I wouldn't think it bad for you because little piggies grow fat on it. Maybe it taste bad. You try it, I'm not.
