Effect of mammary stimulation on dairy cows and heifers exposed to a lactation induction protocol

Abstract: Cows (n = 21), dried off for a minimum of 45 days, and nulliparous heifers (n = 26), at ages > 18 months old, were placed on a 12-day Lactation Induction (LI) protocol. One group of animals (including both cows and heifers) received 3-minute mammary gland stimulation, along with the LI protocol. Another group, again including both cows and heifers, received no stimulation. Only the LI protocol consisted of two injections of prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α; 25 mg) 11 days apart, followed by subcutaneous injections of … Show more

“…The daily mean (11 kg) and peak (15 kg) yields for the induced animals in this study was very favorable compared with the daily average of 10 kg for untreated cattle while the time to attain peak milk production for un-stimulated cows was 8.7 ± 1.8 weeks and 12.7 ± 1.8 weeks for the stimulated animal (Ramgattie et al, 2014). Delayed peak yield in induced cows may be due to the less secretary tissue present at the beginning of lactation as compared with noninduced cows, as mammary development occurs over 20d period in the former and during the last month of gestation (Knight and Wilde, 1993).…”

“…As associações de hormônios têm objetivo de mimetizar as modificações fisiológicas que dão início à produção de leite e, consequentemente, aumentar a taxa de sucesso (número de animais que respondem ao PIL) de vacas e novilhas submetidas ao PIL. A resposta de novilhas sexualmente maduras aos PIL podem atingir taxas de sucesso de 60 a 100%, com produção média de 11,7 kg/leite/dia, o que pode indicar ser rentável induzir lactações de novilhas (FULKERSON,1978;SCHANBACHER, 1974;HAYS, 1975;RAMGATTIE et al, 2014).…”

“…Novilhas não gestantes e não lactantes acima de 20 meses são consideradas tardias, improdutivas e geradoras de custos com alimentação e instalações nas propriedades leiteiras (MACRINA; TOZER; ,1975). Já em outro estudo foi descrita taxa de sucesso de 85% e produção de leite de 11,7 kg/leite/dia de leite em PIL com base hormonal de 17β-estradiol, progesterona, PGF2α, reserpina e dexametasona em novilhas acima de 18 meses de idade (RAMGATTIE et al, 2014).…”
