Do pigs get milked to make cheese or yogurt or any reason?

No, Pigs are not milked.  They are just raised as livestock to produce more pigs and to send to market for meat.  Cows and Goats are milked though!

Drinking the milk of cows and goats has been practiced since ancient times.  I would expect it began shortly after man began domesticating these animals.  It would seem logical as milk is obviously a source of nutrients for the offspring of the cow or goat and ancient society did not have the same taboos we are encumbered with today.

the hormone similar to our FSH hormone also stimulates them to up milk production... it evades me right now... but i wanna say it's called BSH.... i swear that's wrong, but it's from Monsanto company.... i haven't milked out cows in a long time! ;) anyhoo, they get monthly injections which stimulates their mammaries to up milk production.

No such thing, but certain animal inject object such as stones to help break down food stuff. Chicken store such gravel in their gizzards, ruminans such as sheep, cows and goats do the same, the stones mechanically grinds objects to smaller pieces to help ingestion.

ow's milk is rich in a wide range of chemical compounds that can be processed into various dairy products such as cheese, butter, and yogurt. Specifically the milk component involved in cheese production is a soluble protein called casein. The enzyme rennet can be used to catalyze the conversion of casein in milk to para-casein by removing a glycopeptide from the soluble casein. Para-casein further clots, i.e. coagulates, in the presence of calcium ions to form white, creamy lumps called the curd, leaving behind the supernatant called the whey.

Cosha? You mean 'kosher'? That has to do with Jewish preparation, they have all kinds of rules too.\n\nMuslims and Jews do not eat pork of any type because the pig is considered an unclean animal. It's an omnivore, which means it can and will eat anything, and in the desert regions of the world, where these religions originated, the pigs ate whatever they could find, and it was often carrion, old rotting meat, even human remains ... so naturally pork wasn't considered safe for human consumption. If you look through old newspapers, you will find gruesome stories of pigs attacking very young children because the pigs are hungry and the children are there ... and easily overpowered. But the pigs are omnivores ... like us.

Many people theorize that this was a sanitary issue, albeit one that came about before our modern understanding of hygiene. Milk products can act as a growth medium for bacteria found in uncooked or spoiled meat, so the mixing of them was prohibited.

The story of the pig and Muhammad is nonsensical and lame.\n\nPigs are glutton. They eat everything. Is everything clean? Pigs are the most withstandable animal against bacteria and virus. Quite like walking vessels of bacteria.\n\nPigs are the sources of some terrible diseases like J.E. and avian flu (if not mistaken).\n\nSome may say that pigs are tasty. It is true based on the saying "Not all good things are sweet and not all bad things are bitter". \n\nNo matter what technique scientists do to make pigs safely edible, they will not accomplish that because zillions generations of pigs have lived and practised the glutton eating habits and made them super dangerous to consume and to have contact with them. \n\nPigs do breed super-fast. Even an offspring can give out birth just after two months (if not mistaken).  \n\nGod forbids men to eat pigs because of the above statements and maybe more to discovered. God knows best. However, we can eat pigs if there is no other choice of food or during very, very difficult times.

I have heard that there is some health benifit from seperating milk and dairy.  The iron in meat and the calcium in dairy tend to bind together so that you don't get the benifit of either one.  By not eating them at the same meal you better absorb both the calcium and the iron.\n\nNow obviously that is not the reason we don't mix the two.  The basis of the command is the fact that Torah says you should not boil a kid in its mother's milk.  Now that could be taken just at face value.  But Torah makes the same command 3 different times in 3 different places. That is understood to mean that the command has to be taken at more than its face value.  A "hedge" of protection is placed around the basic command.  So the understanding that is accepted is that no mixing of milk and dairy is permitted.\n\nNow as to how you should live your life, obviously there is no need for you to live under the rabbinic injunctions unless you feel like it.  Yes, it is probably improper for you to take and animal from its mother and to take its mother's milk that was intended to nourish it and the boil that kid in that milk. But whether you should keep milk plates and meat plates in different cupboards - that probably isn't anything you really need to worry about.\n\nBe obediant to the basic commands of Scripture and don't worry about the traditions unless you are convinced that the tradition is appropriate to observe.  In the position you are in you don't need to feel that you have to answer to anyone about how you are obediant, don't let them judge you in your keeping of dietary laws, holy days or anything else.  Live righteously and do justice.

Can't begin to tell you how much sleep I have been losing over this one, too.  Seems to me that constipated cows might give, well, uh, crappy milk.

Although it says 'low-fat' I believe the fat content of cheese is higher than the yogurt.  Cottage cheese also has more protein in it (on average) and may actually be more filling.  I personally don't see a problem with substituting those 2 items althought I am no dietition.

Yes... Dove, Pigeon, Flamingos and Penguins produce a “crop milk” (pigeons milk) due to the action of a hormone called prolactin. Both sexes produce this highly nutritious substance to feed to the young.\n\nCrop milk bears little resemblance to mammalian milk, being a semi-solid substance somewhat like pale yellow cottage cheese.

We all know the moon is made of green cheese, we just don't know whether or not it uses animal rennet!!

Your middle eastern friends may be muslims, and if so, they do not keep dogs as pets.  To the muslims, the dog and pig are both ceremonially unclean animals, not to be touched even.  So they would not have much contact with dogs from not ever having one as a pet and would not understand your affection for your dog.  They're not being unkind, I don't think, just not aware.
