Cows secreting abnormal milk were treated with Karuchinomin (an extract from the root of a perennial grass, Coix lacryrnas tobi typica), purasubitan (a proprietary preparation of calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium salts, caffeine sodiobenzoate, glucose, and vitamin B1), or sodium propionate to examine the possible influence of these drugs on the quality of milk. As a result, fairly remarkable changes were observed when karuchinomin and purasubitan were administered. Especially, improvement was shown on the chemical composition of milk, suggesting the process of recovery to normal milk.
