Bioconversion of milk whey for application in whole milk replacers

Possibilities to reduce mass share of lactose in whey intended for application in whole milk replacers for young animals feeding have been studied. It was done by bioconversion of whey with microorganisms possessing high capacity to ferment lactose. Physical factors of low intensity were used to enhance beta-galactosidase activity of lactic acid microorganisms. The results received confirm expediency to apply physical factors of low intensity in certain range of frequencies and with determined duration of effect on the strains of lactic acid Str. thermophilus
