Extract

Hypersensitivity to cow's milk is not uncommon in humans, particularly babies and infants. Those afflicted may be found to tolerate goat's milk which, in this country, commands a considerably higher price than cow's milk. For economic as well as ethical reasons it is therefore desirable to ascertain that goat's milk offered for sale is free from admixtures of cow's milk. Tests should be sensitive to relatively minor admixtures, since even small additions of cow's milk may undo the benefit which hypersensitive subjects expect to derive from the consumption of goat's milk.
