Extract

The gross energy content of the milk of the cow, sow, ewe, goat and of human milk has been determined by bomb calorimeter, and compared with results obtained using conversion factors and chemical analysis.

Correction for non-protein nitrogen content led to values agreeing within 0·5–1·0% for the milk of all species. For human colostrum other factors may be involved, and a closer estimate of gross energy value of human milk was obtained by treating all nitrogenous constituents as being protein.
