The equine dairy chain is renewing the interest toward horse and donkey breeding for the production of milk with potential health promoting properties. The dairy equine chain for human consumption could contribute to the rural eco-sustainable development for the micro-economies of those areas threatened by marginalization. As a part of the whole equine industry, and its possible impact in the modern and future society, the main traits of the equine dairy enterprise are reviewed with a special focus on management of animals and milk. Equine milk compositional and nutritional peculiarities are described as also related to milk hygiene and health issues. Scientific and technical aspects of the feeding management are considered in the frame of the emerging dairy equine enterprise, where pasture is an essential element that allows to match production goals for horses and donkeys, biodiversity preservation, as well as landscape safeguard.
马奶产业链正在重新唤起人们对马和驴养殖以生产具有潜在健康促进特性牛奶的兴趣。供人类消费的马奶产业链可为那些面临边缘化威胁地区的微观经济的农村生态可持续发展做出贡献。作为整个马产业的一部分及其对现代和未来社会可能产生的影响，本文回顾了马奶企业的主要特征，特别关注动物和牛奶的管理。文中描述了马奶的成分和营养特性，以及与牛奶卫生和健康问题的关系。在新兴的马奶企业框架内考虑了饲养管理的科学技术方面，在该框架中，牧场是一个关键要素，它有助于实现马和驴的生产目标、保护生物多样性以及维护景观。
