“…The diarrhoeal effect of high intake levels of lactose was recognised over half a century ago, and much of this early work has been extensively reviewed by Fischer and Sutton (1949). The present results.…”

Twenty-eight weaning pigs were used in a feeding experiment to detennine the effect of different levels of lactose in the diet on growth perfonnance and carcass characteristics. Seven pigs weighing initially 50 lb and penned individually were allocated to each of four treatment diets in which lactose was substituted for wheat starch at levels of 0%, 15%, 30%, or 45% of the diet. The meal mixtures were fed as a gruel using three parts water: one part meal (w/w).Over a period of 56 days pigs receiving diets containing 30% or 45% lactose grew 10% and 39% slower respectively than the controls (P < 0.01). The pigs on the 45% lactose diet also grew significantly slower (P < 0.05) than those fed diets containing either 15% or 30% of lactose. Reduced food consumption was a major factor contributing to the poor and very variable performance of the group fed the 45% lactose diet. Similar treatment differences were evident for food conversion efficiency but there was little treatment effect on carcass fatness. The incidence and duration of diarrhoea increased with increasing levels of dietary lactose. Diets containing up to 30% lactose caused a transient diarrhoea, but some of the animals on 45% lactose continued to scour until the termination of the experiment.

“…Limited evidence suggests ,that where the ability of the growing pig to make efficient use of this particular source of energy is exceeded. poor growth, decreased food intake, diarrhoea, and other physiological effects result (Fischer and Sutton 1949;Duncan 1955).…”

“…It seems more likely that hypolactasia is a genetic disturbance and that some people have a regression of lactose activity in their intestinal mucosa during childhood. A comparable state of affairs is found in many animal species (Fischer & Sutton, 1949). Evidence for this genetic effect was shown in studies on Greek Cypriot patients (Fig.…”

“…Many animals have a limited ability to tolerate these sugars in the diet. One of the important factors which limits lactose utilization seems to be its effect on gastrointestinal motility (Fischer and Sutton, 1949). Apparently there are species differences and other factors which influence the level at which lactose produces diarrhea, but the symptom itself is generally observed in both mammalian and non-mammalian species.…”
