The duration of excretion of Toxocara vitulorum larvae in the milk of buffalo cows determines the optimum time for treating calves. Studies on 10 cows showed that a few larvae occur in the colostrum of some cows before the calf has suckled, but most are present from the day after calving and for a further five days. From day 9 onwards, very few larvae were found in the milk. The total number of larvae found was comparable with the number of adult parasites collected from the calves of cows with similar histories. The larvae were 1254 +/- 60 microns long and 36 +/- 6.7 microns in diameter at the ventriculus, figures which are substantially different from some published results.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007774 Lactation The processes of milk secretion by the maternal MAMMARY GLANDS after PARTURITION. The proliferation of the mammary glandular tissue, milk synthesis, and milk expulsion or let down are regulated by the interactions of several hormones including ESTRADIOL; PROGESTERONE; PROLACTIN; and OXYTOCIN.
