Material and methods. Analyzed the results of numerous studies to studycomposition of
mare’s milk and koumiss. The results of biochemical, enzyme immunoassay, laboratory, clinical,
microbiological, analytical, statistical, questionnaire research methods were used.
Results. It is shown that the composition of kumis depends on the composition of mare’s milk.
Kumis isa rich source of amino acids, vitamins, hormones, polyunsaturated fatty acids, enzymes,
which determine its medicinal properties. Kumis has an immunomodulatory, antibacterial, antiinflammatory
effect, and can be used as a non-medicinal prophylactic and therapeutic agent.
