摘要:
The invention relates to a method for producing milk having an increased melatonin content or milk products thereof. According to said method, the daily rhythm of mammals is divided into a day phase and a night phase, and the animals are milked at least once during the night phase in order to obtain milk having an increased melatonin content. At least one light source emitting substantially no light in the wavelength range below 500 nm is used for the light regime during the night phase. The obtained milk can be processed into milk products, especially milk power, having a high melatonin content. The obtained milk products including the milk are suitable as or for food, dietary supplements, or medicaments.
