Low Lactose Milk formula for hand-rearing all animal species including puppies, kittens, lambs, piglets, calves, foals, cria and marsupials.
ABOUT LOW LACTOSE MILKS
Low lactose milk products are normally prepared from cow’s milk using the enzyme lactase to convert milk lactose into its component sugars, glucose and galactose. This process does not alter the nature or composition of protein or fat in cow’s milk, which can be quite inappropriate for other mammal species.
Milk protein is composed of two main fractions, casein and whey protein. Cow’s milk protein contains about 20% whey protein. Protein in the milk of animals such as puppies, kittens, foals, piglets and marsupials contains up to 50% whey protein. Whey protein has more essential amino acids than casein so products made simply from modified cow’s milk are likely to be nutritionally deficient for other species.
