For the newborn with low birth weights the Dairy Research Institute and Dairy Industry prepared an adapted dried milk--Feminar where most of the casein was replaced by whey proteins, prepared by thermal denaturation F-BTD. The results of the nitrogen and lipid balance made in low birth weight neonates fed this milk were compared with the results of balances in infants fed commonly prepared Feminar and Feminar where whey proteins were prepared by ultrafiltration F-BU. The balances were made in a total of 23 low birth weight neonates (always four balance days). The nitrogen and lipid retention after F-BTD was higher, and concurrent investigation of metabolites revealed lower blood urea concentration.
