Donkey milk-based formula: A substitute for patients with cow's milk protein allergy.

Mohammed Osman Swar.




Abstract

Cow's milk protein allergy affects 2-7% of children using cow's milk formulae. Fifty to eighty percent of them develop allergy to other food items and substitutes. On the search for a safe and affordable substitute, we reviewed the composition of milks of the domestic mammals in close contact with man. Milk constituents studied included fat, protein, lactose, minerals, water, pH, specific gravity and caloric value. Compared to others, donkey milk was found to be closest to breast milk when the amount of 16ml of sunflower is added to one liter of this milk. To our knowledge, no allergy to donkey milk has been reported yet.

Key words: Allergy; Composition; Cows; Donkey; Milk; Substitute; Sunflower oil
