Abstract
1. 1. About 20% of the total nitrogen in baboon milk was non-protein nitrogen. Thus the milk contains only 1.2–1.3 g true protein/100 ml. Half of this was casein, but the proportion of whey proteins (especially IgA) was higher in colostrum. 2. 2. Electrophoretically, distribution of casein and whey proteins resembled those from other Old-World primates more than those from human milk. 3. 3. The total amino acids lay between those of human and other primate milk. The free amino acids and those of baboon casein were broadly similar to those in human milk.
