Composition of Milk

  • Chapter
Fundamentals of Dairy Chemistry

Abstract

Milk is secreted by all species of mammals to supply nutrition and immunological protection to the young. It performs these functions with a large array of distinctive compounds. Interspecies differences in the quantitative composition of milk (Jenness and Sloan 1970) probably reflect differences in the metabolic processes of the lactating mother and in the nutritive requirements of the suckling young.
