Effects of Once Versus Twice Daily Milking Throughout Lactation on Milk Yield and Milk Composition in Dairy Goats [PDF]
The effects of once (1X) vs. twice (2X) daily milking throughout lactation on milk yield, milk composition, somatic cell count (SCC), and udder health were studied in 32 Murciano-Granadina dairy goats. Goats were assigned at wk 2 of lactation to two treatment groups; once daily milking at 0900 (1X, n = 17), or twice daily milking at 0900 and 1700 (2X ...

Effects of Twice-Daily Nursing on Milk Ejection and Milk Yield During Nursing and Milking in Dairy Cows [PDF]
Milk production and hormonal responses to milking in Holstein cows that were milked twice daily, and that either also nursed calves twice daily 2 h after milking for 9 wk after calving (n = 10) or that served as nonnursing controls (n = 8) were examined to assess how nursing affected responses to machine milking.

Evaluation of milk yield losses associated with Salmonella antibodies in bulk-tank milk in bovine dairy herds [PDF]
The effect of Salmonella on milk production is not well established in cattle. The objective of this study was to investigate whether introduction of Salmonella into dairy cattle herds was associated with reduced milk yield and the duration of any effect.

Lactation Studies. III. Milk and Milk Fat Yields Comparing Three Twice-daily Milking Schedules
Summary To compare the effects of equal and unequal twice-daily milking, 17 sets of identical and two sets of fraternal twins completed 58 lactations during two experiments. Twelve pairs of lactations compared 10–14 and 12-12 hr intervals and 17 pairs of lactations compared 8–16 and 12-12 hr intervals. Cows in Experiment I were milked on 10–14 or 12-

Bias and Accuracy of Single Milking Testing Schemes to Estimate Daily and Lactation Milk Yield
This study evaluated the adequacy of an alternate a.m.-p.m. testing scheme for milk yield in comparison with the official test method based on weighing two milkings within 24 h. A total of 88,558 single test day milking weights from 15,670 Italian Friesian cows in 610 herds in the province of Milano (Italy) were collected between September 1991 and ...

Oral supplementation of medium-chain fatty acids during the dry period supports the neutrophil viability of peripartum dairy cows [PDF]
A randomised clinical trial was conducted to explore the effect of orally supplemented medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA) to heifers and cows starting 6-8 weeks prior to expected calving date on blood and milk polymorphonuclear neutrophilic leucocyte (PMNL)
