Soy formulas and nonbovine milk

Antimicrobial effect of donkeys’ milk digested in vitro with human gastrointestinal enzymes

“…In Italy, donkeys' milk is mainly used for infant nutrition as a natural substitute milk when breast-feeding is not possible or to replace bovine milk in dietotherapy of patients affected by cows' milk protein allergy (CMPA) (Muraro, Giampietro, & Galli, 2002) and multiple food allergies (Carroccio et al, 2000). In recent human trials, it was found to provide nutritional adequacy, excellent palatability and a good alternative to both IgE-mediated and nonIgE-mediated CMPA (Monti et al, 2007;Tesse, Paglialunga, Braccio, & Armenio, 2009).…”

Donkeys’ milk protein fraction investigated by electrophoretic methods and mass spectrometric analysis

“…In the last few years, milk from non-bovine mammals (goat, donkey, mare, camel) has been studied to identify the best natural substitute for human milk (Businco et al, 2000;El-Agamy et al, 1997;Muraro et al, 2002;Restani et al, 2002). Donkeys' milk was found to be a valid alternative to both IgE-mediated and non-IgEmediated cows' milk protein allergy, with favourable effects on palatability and weight-height gain in an increasing number of clinical trials (Carroccio et al, 2000;Iacono et al, 1992;Monti et al, 2007), although the mechanism of this tolerance, likely related to the protein composition, has not yet been fully clarified.…”

Chiropractic Management of Cow's Milk Protein Intolerance in Infants With Sleep Dysfunction Syndrome: A Therapeutic Trial

“…30 Goat's milk is as allergenic as cow's milk and should be avoided. 31 Mare's milk and donkey's milk, however, may be used in selected cases after appropriate modification, 32 although these milk sources are not readily available commercially. Soy beans are another source for infant formulas.…”
