Composition of lemur milk.
The average composition of 8 samples of milk from Lemur catta, L. fulvus, L. macaco and a hybrid lemur was (in g/100 mt): lipids, 2.3; protein, 2.7; lactose, 6.4; and ash, 0.35. The fatty acids and major minerals were also quantified. The results did not support classification of L. fulvus and L. macao within the same species.
