Estimates of milk constituents from lactating bonnet macaque (Macaca radiata) mothers between two and seven months post-partum.

Background: The literature regarding milk composition in non-human primates collected across offspring development is limited. We assayed milk samples from bonnet macaque (Macaca radiata) mothers as part of studies characterizing development of this species.

Methods: Milk was obtained when possible longitudinally from seven lactating bonnet macaque mothers.
