[Induction of lactation in cattle after short-term hormonal treatment]. 1981

G Manunta, and S Naitana

In wintertime 7 nonpregnant cows (3 nonlactating and 4 milk secreting less than 3 liter/day) and 3 heifers were treated:day 1 cloprostenol (530 microgram); day 2 progesterone capronate (0,25/Kg); days 3 to 5 progesterone (0,25 mg/Kg)+ estradiol valerianate (0,01 mg/Kg) and reserpine (0,01 mg/Kg); days 6 to 8 progesterone (0,25 mg/Kg) + estradiol (0,2 mg/Kg) and reserpine (0,01 mg/Kg); day 9 betametasone acetate (0,2 mg/Kg) and phosphate (0,55 mg/Kg); days 9 to 16 estradiol (0,0075 mg/Kg). 9 days later the treatment started again. In all the period (5/12-25/2) the animals where machine milked. 2 lactating nonpregnant cows where kept as control. The milk secretion started in nonlactating animals but the peak daily milk yield was 3 liter about only. In lactating animals the yield no increased. The second treatment (and the first in lactating cows) induced secreting less milk with more fat and protein. The low milk yields was associated to a season's negative effect.

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.

D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
D011374 Progesterone The major progestational steroid that is secreted primarily by the CORPUS LUTEUM and the PLACENTA. Progesterone acts on the UTERUS, the MAMMARY GLANDS and the BRAIN. It is required in EMBRYO IMPLANTATION; PREGNANCY maintenance, and the development of mammary tissue for MILK production. Progesterone, converted from PREGNENOLONE, also serves as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of GONADAL STEROID HORMONES and adrenal CORTICOSTEROIDS.

D012110 Reserpine An alkaloid found in the roots of Rauwolfia serpentina and R. vomitoria. Reserpine inhibits the uptake of norepinephrine into storage vesicles resulting in depletion of catecholamines and serotonin from central and peripheral axon terminals. It has been used as an antihypertensive and an antipsychotic as well as a research tool, but its adverse effects limit its clinical use.
