milk powder substitute


Explanation:
I think you don't need to refer "cow". Usualy when you say milk its from cow. For other species its necessary to specify

Its conventioned that milk is from cows and eggs from chicken unless other species is refered. However if you think that people that will read your document don't know you can add cow milk... or dairy cow milk...

  -> Thanks Dolores
agree  Carol Gullidge: Agree generally, but, equally, "vacuna" might be there for a reason, in which case it would be wise to specify "cow's milk" (cow's-milk allergies, etc>?)

substitute for powdered cow's milk


Explanation:
It would imply that it is NOT cow milk as it is a substitute.
