Milk was collected from 21 Alaskan moose (Alces alces gigas) at the Kenai Moose Research Center (MRC), Soldotna, Alaska nad analyzed by atomic absorption spectroscopy for Al, As, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, K, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, Pb, Se and Zn. Hair samples were collected from 100 moose at the MRC to correspond with the lactation period and serve as a metabolic indicator of mineral elements stored in tissue. Published analyses of bovine milk were compared to moose milk; Al, Fe, Se and Zn were higher in moose milk by factors of 1.6 to 290. Elements potentially influenced by nutrition and those determined genetically were also considered. Elements in moose milk and hair values were compared, since mineral element levels in hair potentially reflect the availability and intake of these elements. Calcium and Mg were the only values in hair lower than the values in milk (factors of 4.2 and 1.5 respectively). Moose, as well as domestic cattle, apparently are subjected to lactation stress by the genetically determined levels of Ca and Mg in milk.
在阿拉斯加索尔多特纳的基奈驼鹿研究中心，从21头阿拉斯加驼鹿（Alces alces gigas）采集了乳汁，并通过原子吸收光谱法分析了其中的铝、砷、钙、镉、钴、铬、铜、铁、汞、钾、镁、锰、钼、钠、镍、铅、硒和锌。从该研究中心的100头驼鹿身上采集了毛发样本，以对应哺乳期，并作为储存在组织中的矿物质元素的代谢指标。将已发表的牛乳分析结果与驼鹿乳进行了比较；驼鹿乳中的铝、铁、硒和锌含量比牛乳高1.6至290倍。还考虑了可能受营养影响的元素以及由基因决定的元素。对驼鹿乳和毛发中的元素值进行了比较，因为毛发中的矿物质元素水平可能反映了这些元素的可利用性和摄入量。钙和镁是毛发中仅有的低于乳汁中含量的值（分别为4.2倍和1.5倍）。显然，驼鹿以及家养牛都受到乳汁中由基因决定的钙和镁水平的泌乳压力影响。
