Yeah, any biological properties would be destroyed by pasteurising. I think
that's the problem with milk donation to preterm infants, the milk is best
when not pasteurised, so donors must be tightly screened, and even then
tehere arent enough milk banks around. And how would they guarantee the
storage and handling of the milk before it reaches the manufacturer? It
just
takes one person with a grotty pump... hard to police a non centralised
farming proceedure.
