Abstract
The present study was conducted to find out the
nutritional profile of the cow milk in comparison
to sow milk for the development of milk
replacer to early weaned piglets. Milk samples
were collected from sow on 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th and
35th day of lactation and cow milk was collected
randomly. The nutrient composition of cow milk
and sow milk revealed that cow milk was less by
6.33 % of total solids, 0.1 % of total ash, 1.68 % of
crude protein, 0.85 % of lactose, 1.51 % of fat and
2.91 % of SNF when compared to sow milk. The
results indicated that nutritional profile of cow
milk was lower than sow milk. It is concluded
that while developing cow milk based milk
replacer for piglets the deficit nutrients have to
be added to the cow milk before feeding.
