This is interesting, Pat. I frequently talk about other species' milk, and how species specific it is--that seal milk is high in fat so baby seals can put on blubber; that herd animals' milk is high in protein so baby horses, goats, etc. can run with the herd. And that human milk is high in lactose (sugar) to feed baby humans' brains. There is a good comparison by Robert Jensen, Handbook of Milk Composition, 1995. Here's a link, if anyone is interested: Handbook of Milk Composition | ScienceDirect

I would bet that they sacrificed or sedated many to get the samples.

Subject: Interesting finds
In 2009 when I first got the files from LLLI and Wellstart Betty Crase told me I didn't have to save articles about the milk of other animals, only humans. I know I have another list from 2009 to 2015, but it is buried somewhere in the office. I hope it turns up because there was an article by a liitle ?, about 1/2 " long. I always wondered how they milked it! I thought that articles about 'milk' of birds-Chickens, Doves, Turkey, or fish-Carp, Flounder, Talapia or, Frogs were interesting, also articles about Babboons, Bandicoots, Bats, Buffalo, Camel, Chimpanzees, Cows, Deer, Donkey. Gerbils, Goat, Hamsters, Hippopotamus (want to milk that one?), Horse, Llama, Mink, Mouse, Penguin, Pig, Possum, Rabbit, Rat, Sheep, Skunk (or that one) Wallaby.
I've always wondered what the details of these animals' milk have anything to do with Human mother's milk. Pat, thinking and filling up the recycle bin often. See what happens when you get old :-)
