Why is rennilase found in the stomach of calves but not adult cattle?

Adult cattle don't consume milk in their daily diet. Most young mammals secrete rennilase in their stomach so that the milk consumed from their mothers will coagulate and create curds and separate the whey. The curds will then be consumed as the young mammal needs it.
