Zusammenfassung:Milk is the first and continued source of ingested Vitamin D. Extensive studies have been carried out in humans measuring Vitamin D in lactating mothers but to date few values have been obtained for milk of non-human primates and none for rhesus monkeys. Consequently. we have determined Vitamin D and antirachitic activity (ARA) in milk samples obtained from 21 rhesus monkeys. Lactating dams were sampled by hand-stripping. 25(OH)D2, Vitamin D2, 25(OH)D3, Vitamin D3 and ARA were assessed in foremilk using LC-MS/MS techniques. 25(OH)D2 and Vitamin D2 were below detectible limits (
