Abstract
From an experiment with (C14) proline it is concluded that the mammary gland of the goat takes free proline from the blood to provide at least half of the proline residues of casein. From this and previous work it is calculated that at least half the residues of non-essential amino acids in casein are not synthesized in the mammary gland, but come directly from the blood stream.Keywords
