Milko - Acidified Milk Replacer for Calves

Good day folks,

I recently came across several guys who use "Newean Milko" from Coprex as their source of protein. It's pretty cheap at R150 for 5 Kg.

I saw in some other threads we have some folks who are knowledgeable on cows and was wondering if anyone has used Milko themselves?

What are the risks for human consumption, and would this be fairly good for a high fat, high protein diet? I don't recall seeing any nutritional information on the label which specified the amount of carbs in it.

P.S - I am quite happy with my whey protein thanks so No, I'm not planning to run out and buy the Milko. But in all honesty, if its suitable for humans, and for the price, I would consider it.

Hi there
First of all my sincere apologies for only getting onto your question with regards milk now, because it wasn't linked to the thread l was unaware of it, until one of my research subjects just told me about your question. I need to first of all make it clear that l am not a medical practitioner of any kind, l am a human sciences researcher qualitative and quantative, l have a farming background as in "good old farming family" many many generations, as a matter of fact l am linked to the creators of the "Rooi Afrikaner" breed. So l am not a zoologist nor a microbiologist. That being said l have access to colleagues who are all of the above and too one in particular whom l reference often whom l believe is the foremost expert in RAW MILK in the world- 30 years experience for that matter. Ok so that behind us let's address your question. Very simply put l have no knowledge of the product, what's in it and neither do you. So stay away from it. l would rather take infant milk formula than touch anything "hinting at being processed colostrum" by its name, yet no nutritional information on the packaging. Mind you a very well known international company related mostly to chocolate and infant formula had to do massive recalls of their infant formula due to numerous infant deaths world wide, including S.A. This was a couple of years ago and this company saw it's arse. Primarily it's powders (like most) originated in China. l would love to know how the manufacture of a dried powder actually manages to maintain high concentrations of any kinds of poly unsaturated fats especially lipids which are literally filtered to death. Rather find a good dairy that has grass fed, antibiotics and rBGH (bovine growth hormones- synthetic estrogen properties) free, and try and get real fresh colostrum. Try a dairy close by as real colostrum has a "half life" of only a few hours, also farmers don't part with it easily if it's for a male calf that will be used for beef production. Watch Ondiers Colostrum Journal thread in the next few days where l will be posting articles on milk colloidals that will show you may not need colostrum at all. Starting with a subject- an athlete, accused of blood doping (EPO) due to the high levels of it found in his system. He has never touched the synthetic stuff- his body is "producing" it naturally.
