Adult horses are not designed to drink milk and the enzymatic components of milk (skim or otherwise) do not particularly lend themselves to improving the digestive
capabilities of horses. Horses are designed to digest fiber into volatile fatty acids
in the large intestine as their primary source of energy. A secondary, less recommended, energy source is grain. Neither grain nor hay digestion would be
much improved by feeding milk.

Can horses eat horse apples?
Horse apples = manure Yes, sometimes horses eat manure. This is called coprophagia. Foals start to eat manure at about two weeks of age. It is speculated that this is how they get good gut bacteria that will help them digest solid food. Up until then, their diet is totally milk, and so they only have milk-digesting bacteria in their gut. Wild horses commonly drop manure into large piles or stacks, and often come back to eat it in the winter when feed is scarce.

What is a lactose?
Lactose is a sugar found in milk (particularly cow's milk). Some people can not digest this sugar - they are genetically unable to make the enzyme lactase!. The sugar therfore remains in the gut where gut bacteria and fungi feast on it causing stomach problems. When this happens the person is said to be "lactose Intolerant".
If you can not consume milk or milk products will you have problem producing breast milk?
The inability to consume milk or dairy products have nothing to do with your ability to produce milk for nursing. Most people who can't tolerate milk product is because they lack the enzyme to digest the lactose in your gut. That's separate for your mammary glands.

What does bacteria do in a horses large intestine?
Horses digest the bulk of their natural feed (grasses) in the hind guts by fermentation of cellulose into volatile fatty acids. Bacteria in the hind gut is a primary "player" in the digestive process.
What is milk-clotting enzyme chymosin?
Stuff your stomach makes so milk stays in the gut longer, so every nutrient can be absorbed from it. Otherwise it'd flow away faster, like water.
