International Ingredient Lactose is a milk sugar (a disaccharide of glucose and galactose with one molecule of water) fractionated and crystallized from whey streams during the cheese-making process. Lactose is commonly found in milk substitutes and dry starter feeds for dairy and veal calves. Lactose, as a nutrient, is thought to be essential for calves' optimal performance and gut health. Typical inclusion levels range from 5 to 20% of the diet.
