Production of milk ( lactation) from a male mammal's mammary glands is well-documented in the dayak fruit bat and the Bismarck masked flying fox. The term "male lactation" is not used in human medicine. It has been used in popular literature, such as Louise Erdrich's The Antelope Wife, to describe the phenomenon of male galactorrhea, which is a ...
There are claims that ewes produce 650 L (170 US gal) to 900 L (240 US gal) of milk in a 300-day lactation with a 5.5 to 9.5% fat content [1] but those claims have not been verified. In comparative trials for milk yield in Hungary, using the local Merino population with a milk yield of 30-50 litres per lactation, British Milksheep crosses ...
A typical adult has a blood volume of approximately 5 liters, with females and males having approximately the same blood percentage by weight (approx 7 to 8%) [ 1][ 2] Blood volume is regulated by the kidneys . Blood volume (BV) can be calculated given the hematocrit (HC; the fraction of blood that is red blood cells) and plasma volume (PV ...
The adult human brain weighs on average about 1.5 kg (3.3 lb). [ 1] In men the average weight is about 1370 g and in women about 1200 g. [ 2][contradictory] The volume is around 1260 cm 3 in men and 1130 cm 3 in women, although there is substantial individual variation. [ 3] Yet another study argued that adult human brain weight is 1300-1400 g ...
Studies suggest that drinking low-fat milk daily could help reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by up to 10 percent. Milk is also a good source of magnesium and protein, two nutrients linked with a ...
In July 2008, Walmart and some other stores introduced a square milk jug that does not need to be transported in a crate. Sometimes called "green" milk jugs, they are not green in color, but rather are claimed to be environmentally friendly. These new milk jugs are stackable up to a specified maximum height, and can be transported without crates.
A milk bag is a plastic bag that contains milk. Usually one of the corners is cut off to allow for pouring, and the bag is stored in a pitcher or jug. A typical milk bag contains approximately 1 L (1.8 imp pt) of milk in South America, Iran, Israel, and continental European countries, while in Canada they contain L (2.3 imp pt), and in India, 0 ...
Mature does weigh around 61 kg (135 lbs), and are about 76 cm (30 in) tall at the shoulder. Alpine goats can range from white or gray to brown and black. Alpine goats are heavy milkers. The milk can be made into butter, cheese, soap, ice cream or any other dairy product normally made from cow's milk. They are often used for commercial dairy ...
