Is bull milk safe to drink?

Question

I am asking this for someone else.

Michael H, I have reported you for making such vulgar comments.

Actually, a well known university has developed a buffalo (male) that can produce milk. This question is for real. My question is this, since they have tampered with genetics, is the milk safe to drink?

Answer 1

I know you have to be kidding because nobody is dumb enough to think a MALE can give milk.

This is also not a question related to this section.

Answer 2

Bull Milk

Answer 3

*sighs* here we go again, you report people for answering the dumbest question on the planet. I ignored this question for a couple of days, but then I decided to read it, and guess what, this was the best laugh I have had in a long time. You tell us we are sheep, and we believe whatever we have read, and YOU are the one stating that some university has altered genetics so a male can produce milk to drink? Where exactly does the milk come out of the male? Yes, we only believe what we read, which is why we all laughing are a**** off at your question, because there is no one who can make a bull produce milk.

Answer 4

I think you are mixing up buffalo with bull.

A buffalo is a wild animal and that can be both male or female and the female will be able to produce milk.

A bull is the male of the species of both the buffalo and the more domestic version of cattle that we humans get milk from. It can't produce milk

A female buffalo and female domestic cattle can give milk

Answer 5

Yes. It is perfectly safe.Though nobody in general tried that in the past. Some tribal peopl in Mozambiq and Ghaana used to drink Bulls milk. Actuallu, you have to kill the bull and take the udder out. Within that udder milk resides. It generally have to 2 to 3 litre per bull. This is not actually milk but a milk like liquid with high protiens. It is a belief that it increases libido in man. Only thing negative here is you have to kill a bull for 2 liters of milk.

Answer 6

I'm going to treat this as a serious question, as it may be one.
bulls like men, have nipples or teats in the bulls case. Although it is extremely rare, sometimes men have produced milk.

I suppose it is also possible with bulls. I have had a few bulls though, and their teats are so tiny, no mamary tissue around the area, and almost invisible.
I highly doubt they would give milk unless severely messed with with tons of female hormones, or genetic modifying.

I think anything that is filled with artificial hormones or genetic modifying would be risky to consume. So I would say NO.

Just drink regular cow's milk, it's safer, and there are many of nice sources of raw organice milk.
hope this helped your friend.
:-)

EDIT:

I'm inclined to agree with sarah d actually, you or your friend probably think that buffalo is the same as bull.

Just like people don't know that bulls have teats. (THEY DO PEOPLE!!!) people automatically think one species is just male.. I've heard this before actually, and it makes me laugh.

there are both bull and cow buffalos. Cows naturally give milk, but bulls buffalo or NOT do not give milk naturally EVER..

Breeders or scientists or whoever might have bred a buffalo female to give extra milk similar to capacities of a regular cow. In which case, buffalo milk might have a weird taste, and have higher fat content probably. It's probably safe though.

water buffalos (cows) are milked in India. But their milk is very fatty, and a lilttle weird flavor.. They really value the regular cows milk most.

something you might find interesting...
sometimes new born baby boys and girls have milk in their "breasts". I squirted some out of my friend's baby boy lol.

You wrote: "Actually, a well known university has developed a buffalo (male) that can produce milk."

Oh dear... Ashley, you should have stated that in the first place. Include all relevant info so people don't think you're making stuff up or trolling. Someone is probably pulling your leg on this one, but in the future, give links and details, otherwise your questions tend to sound really nonsensical.

Edit: Is the thumbs down for being nice to Ashley? Just trying to give her the benefit of the doubt, maybe she'll learn and grow... and post less of these silly questions.

Answer 8

I'm sorry but someone is playing a joke on you, and you have fallen for it big time! why would anyone breed a male buffalo for milk? when there are so many females about and also buffalo farms?? And by the way, having lived on a farm for many years, bull semen is often referred to as milk.

Answer 9

Ashley, until I read this question, I had thought you were just an ignorant child who knew nothing about food.

Now I know you are just putting it on and PRETENDING to be a PC veggie. You are just pulling our legs, right? No way would even an ignorant child think that bulls give milk !

You had me for a while, but I'm on to you.
Let me guess, you are a bored male accountant at work, having a laugh !

Answer 10

When has a bull ever produced milk? Do you just sit around and dream up silly ?'s?

Okay, I looked up to see if I could find this well known university and study and hence I couldn't find anything out about it. It seems if a bull was able to produce milk that would be pretty easy to find! What a mess!

Answer 11

I guess so. If you're not sure, ask Monica Lewinsky.

PS: I'm sorry, but I can't find any information about a university producing male buffaloes that give milk. What university is it?
