Milk
is a rich
source of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals and is
therefore an important source of nutrients. One pint (600ml) of milk
supplies 7/8 of calcium, slightly less than 1/3rd of riboflavin, over
1/4th of proteins and just under 1/5th of Vitamin A requirements of a
moderately active man for one day. |
Composition:
The proportion of proteins fats and carbohydrates
make it an ideal diet for the newborns. The composition of milk varies
appreciably with the breed of animal, the season and time of the year, the
fodder supplied and the stage of lactation.
