Piglet formula is probably a good substitute for human formula.\
\
\"Polydextrose appears to be a good substitute for oligosaccharides that are found in breast milk, said Dr. Jack Odle, William Neal Reynolds professor of nutritional biochemistry. Odle is an animal scientist whose work focuses on understanding the nutritional requirements of young, developing animals, particularly pigs. But pigs, Odle points out, are good substitutes for people.\
\
"I'm an animal scientist first, so I'm interested in the pig for the sake of the pig," Odle said. "But they (pigs) really are an excellent model for pediatric nutrition."\"\
