Total demand rate of three kinds of functional dairy products: anti-fatigue, multi-vitamins and high-energy was 60.6%, 60.6%, 55.9%,respectively. The differences of demand rate for the three kinds of functional dairy products among high temperature, cold and plateau area was statistically (P<0.017).The demand rate of liquid milk in plateau and high temperature is highest, 43.8% and 46.1%, respectively; The demand rate of milk bar and milk piece is highest in very cold area, at 38.7%.
