One opinion among people who are experienced in hand rearing newborn mammals is that goat milk is more suitable than cow milk if the young needs a milk replacer. The purpose of this literature review was to find out if there is scientific evidence that goat milk is a better milk replacer for piglets, rat pups and foals than cow milk. The milk is essential for the newborn animal, as its only source of nutrition until it has learned how to eat solid food. In this literature review, the composition of goat milk and cow milk is compared with the nutrient requirements after birth in piglets, rat pups and foals. The nutrient requirements and the milk composition are partly determined by the newborn mammals activity level and suckling frequency, which also is described. The comparison between goat milk and cow milk showed that the compositions of the two milks is very similar, although there are some small differences which make the goat milk more easily digested for monogastric animals. The higher digestibility leads to a higher absorption of nutrients which in turn leads to a more efficient utilization of nutrients. The subject of milk allergy is also discussed briefly.

Sammanfattning En åsikt hos människor som har erfarenhet av att flaskuppföda nyfödda djurungar är att getmjölk är lämpligare än komjölk som mjölkersättning. Syftet med den här littereraturstudien var att ta reda på om det finns vetenskapliga bevis för att getmjölk är bättre än komjölk som mjölkersättning till griskultingar, råttungar och föl. För att ta reda på hur det förhåller sig i det fallet jämförs kompositionen hos getmjölk och komjölk med näringsbehovet hos griskultingar, råttungar och föl. Mjölken är essentiell för den nyfödda ungen eftersom innan den lärt sig äta fast föda utgör mjölken dess enda näringskälla. Näringsbehoven och mjölksammansättningen bestäms delvis av ungens aktivitetsnivå och difrekvens, och därför beskrivs också dessa. Jämförelsen mellan getmjölk och komjölk visade på att kompositionen är väldigt likartad, sånär som på några små skillnader som gör getmjölken mer lättsmält för enkelmagade djur. Den högre smältbarheten leder till en högre absorption av näringsämnen vilket i sin tur leder till ett mer effektivt utnyttjande av näringsämnen. Orsakerna till mjölkallergi diskuteras i korthet. 2011-04-25 First cycle, G2E NonPeerReviewed application/pdf swe https://stud.epsilon.slu.se/2386/1/orve_v_110502.pdf Orve, Viveca, 2011.
