Abstract:Infant formula (IF) based on cow milk and goat milk is a substitute food for infants who are underfed with human milk. In our previous study, we reported the composition and physicochemical stability of IF based on milk from cows and goats and a combination of both milks. Here, we investigated the effects of these three IFs on intestinal immunity and short-chain fatty acid production (SCFAs) using human microbiota-associated (HMA) mice and selected human milk as a positive control. The results showed that goat… Show more
