Milk from crops???? What is Crop milk?


Will there be no need of Cow in future???????
A known fact is that -  Crop milk contains more fat and protein content as compared to human or cow milk.
But What is this Crop milk?
Is it true that crops produce milk?

 Crop milk is a secretion from the lining of the crop (thin-walled expanded portion of the alimentary tract )of parent birds that is regurgitated(bring up to the mouth) to young birds. It is found among all pigeons and doves where it is referred to as pigeon milk.
Why to know about this:-
The crop milk is produced by pigeons about 3 days before parturirtion.
And it is essential for the faster growth of young ones.
An analog to crop milk is also secreted from the esophagus of flamingos and some penguins.

What makes kinematic viscosity differ from dynamic ?

Absolute (or Dynamic) Viscosity:  This is a measure of how resistive the flow of a fluid is between two layers of fluid in motion.  A value can be obtained directly from a rotational viscometer which measures the force needed to rotate a spindle in the fluid SI unit          - mPa.s    . cgs unit        - cP  . Kinematic Viscosity:  This is a measure of how resistive the flow of a fluid is under the influence of gravity.  Kinematic viscometers usually use the force of gravity to cause the fluid to flow through a calibrated orifice, while timing its flow. SI unit          - mm^2.s   . cgs unit        - cSt(centi stroke).

Vitamins in MILK

Vitamins are organic substances which occur in very small concentrations in both plants and animals. They are essential to normal life processes. The chemical composition of vitamins is usually very complex, but that of most vitamins is now known. The various vitamins are designated by capital let- ters, sometimes followed by numerical subscripts, e.g. A, B1 and B2.  Milk contains many vitamins.  Among the best known are A, B1, B2, C and D. Vitamins A and D are soluble in fat, or fat solvents, while the others are soluble in water. Lack of vitamins can result in defi- ciency diseases
