虽然家畜的起源已经有了充分的文献记载，但尚不清楚牲畜是什么时候开始被用于生产次要产品，如牛奶。对中欧和东欧两个可追溯到新石器时代早期（公元前5900-5500 cal）的农业遗址的陶瓷容器中保存的残余脂肪的分析，最好的解释是牛奶残留物的存在。在此基础上，作者认为，乳业是早期欧洲农业经济的特色。根据对该地区动物遗骸的分析来评估证据，以确定乳制品的规模。有人认为，最初的奶牛场——可能是绵羊或山羊——规模较小，是广泛的混合经济的一部分。
Although the origins of domestic animals have been well-documented, it is unclear when livestock were first exploited for secondary products, such as milk. The analysis of remnant fats preserved in ceramic vessels from two agricultural sites in central and eastern Europe dating to the Early Neolithic (5900-5500 cal BC) are best explained by the presence of milk residues. On this basis, the authors suggest that dairying featured in early European farming economies. The evidence is evaluated in the light of analysis of faunal remains from this region to determine the scale of dairying. It is suggested that dairying-perhaps of sheep or goats-was initially practised on a small scale and was part of a broad mixed economy.
