Abstract

The study of the nutritional value of whole and diluted buffalo milk in relation to whole and standardized cow milk was performed using rats as test animals. The following conclusions were obtained: no differences were observed between buffalo milk regarding in vitro digestibility; a higher calcium retention was exhibited by animals under diet of buffalo whole milk; trygliceride levels were higher in blood of rats under buffalo milk diet, although those values are considered to be normal for these test animals.
