Summary

GROWTH WAS ASSESSED IN RATS FED DIETS OF FREEZE-DRIED (FD) AND LIQUID MILK AND YOGURT. MICROBIAL GROWTH IN LIQUID MILK LOWERED PH TO 4.5 AND CAUSED COAGULATION ; THUS, ACCURACY OF COMPARING LIQUID DIETS IS QUESTIONABLE. FREEZE-DRYING ELIMINATED SUCH PROBLEMS BUT DID NOT DIMINISH THE SUPERIOR STIMULATION OF GROWTH IN RATS BY YOGURT. GAINS OF RATS ON YOGURT WERE 24.3% HIGHER THAN FOR LIQUID MILK AND 24.6% HIGHER WHEN FED FD. LACTASE ACTIVITY OF FD YOGURTS DECLINED LESS THAN 5% DURING 24 MONTHS STORAGE AT 283 K (10 DEG C).
