MILK AND MILK PRODUCTS FOR PREVENTING OR TREATING HEART DISEASE

摘要

A milk or other dairy product, capable of minimising the onset of disease suchas coronary heart disease or enhancing the immuneresponse is derived from animals which are substantially free of the .beta.-casein A1 allele. Bulk milk can be produced by testing for andculling cows who test positive for the .beta.-casein A1 allele, or byproducing immunoglobulins and other immune response proteins, in cow'smilk from animals not possessing the .beta.-casein A1 allele, or othercommercial milk pruducing animals, to this allele, to counteract theimmunosuppressant substances present that are produced from it, in commercialmilking cows such as Holsteins, together with its blendingwith non-treated milk or the recovery of such immunoproteins.
