Milk samples (n = 10) taken during the first 280 days of lactation from one Asian elephant were examined for nutrient composition including total solids, protein, fat, ash, a-tocopherol, and retinol levels. Total solids averaged 19.7 * 2.7% SD (range 15.0-23.3). Percent protein remained fairly stable throughout this portion of lactation and averaged 3.4 t 0.3% (range 3.0-4.0). Ash content averaged 0.54 * 0.03%. Milk fat and fat soluble vitamin levels varied considerably with a suggestion of a cyclic pattern. Fat content of milk averaged 7.6 +-2.6% (range 3.9-12.1); a-tocopheral levels averaged 0.33 +-0.12 pg/ml; and retinol levels averaged 0.46 * 0.1 pg/ml.
