Does anyone know why this isn't so for dairy cattle? Surely they have to be tested for stuff like TB? I'm wondering why those (and other) costs are so much higher for human milk than for formula.

Thanks for the link. I'd forgotten about mothers being ineligible to donate after 12 months - so that really does limit the pool of available donors in one very noticeable way that isn't an issue for dairy cattle.

Looking forward to the comments of others on the difference in costs!


Best wishes,
