Dear Karleen:

The booklet I co-authored with Dia Michels and Naomi Bromberg Bar-Yam might
have what you are looking for:

Michels, D. and Good Mojab, C. with Bromberg Bar-Yam, N. Breastfeeding at a
Glance: Facts, Figures, and Trivia about Lactation. New York: Platypus Media
2001.

It has a table showing % protein and % fat for 11 mammals from human to
black bear to house mouse. The section talks about the relationship between
milk composition and feeding frequency and gives examples of nursing
behavior for several mammals. The references I used to create that table
were:

Lawrence, R. and Lawrence, R. Breastfeeding: A guide for the medical
profession. St. Louis, MO: Mosby Year Book 1998.

Oftedal, O. and Iverson, S. Comparative analysis of nonhuman milks. A
phylogenetic variation in the gross composition of milks. In Jensen, R., Ed.
Handbook of Milk Composition. San Diego, CA: Academic Press 1995.

Hoping that helps,

Cynthia
