Which milk type has a protein percentage of 4.5%?

Goat milk
Sheep milk
Buffalo milk
Cow milk

The correct answer is: Buffalo milk

The protein content of different types of milk varies, and buffalo milk is known for its higher protein percentage compared to other types. It typically has a protein content around 4.5%, which makes it particularly valued in cheese making and other dairy products. The richness of buffalo milk is often attributed to its higher fat and protein levels, contributing to creamier textures in products like mozzarella. In contrast, goat milk and sheep milk generally have different protein ranges, with sheep milk tending to have a higher protein content than cow or goat milk but not typically reaching the exact level specified in the question. Cow milk usually has a protein content around 3.3% to 3.5%, which is lower than that of buffalo milk. This is why buffalo milk is identified as having a protein percentage of 4.5%.
