It could be either ready to feed liquid or diluted concentrate. As to the type of ABM - I refuse to get into this and refer the parents to the pediatrician. The parents don't like it too much when I refuse to suggest a brand. Oh and I never thought that you were the one advocating the goat's milk - it didn't sound that way. Sarah
