Note be perfectly developed from the standpoint of dairy form and nervous development, yet if the mammary system is insufficiently developed or faulty for any reason, the machine is imperfect. After the food is taken into the stomach it is digested, absorbed, and finally elaborated into milk through the mammary system. The blood carries the assimilated food products to the mammary system where they are manufactured into milk. If there is not sufficient development in the mammary system to ultilize these products, the animal is imperfect from the standpoint of Digitized by Microsoft®.
