Feeding frequency for lactating cows: diurnal patterns of hormones and metabolites in peripheral blood in relation to milk-fat concentration

Abstract: 1. The present paper reports the effects of dietary modifications on the diurnal pattern of concentrations of certain metabolites and hormones in the peripheral blood of lactating dairy cows. The cows were given fixed rations of hay and high-cereal concentrates in the proportions of 30:70 or 10:90 (w/w). The concentrates were given in either two or six equal meals daily; the hay was given twice daily.2. Previous reports of the same experiment had shown that milk-fat yield and concentration were reduced by incr… Show more

“…In studies with goats fed and milked at different times, the feeding of concentrates twice daily resulted in increased mammary blood¯ow, a response not seen when the concentrate portion of the ration was fed at intervals of 2 h (Bequette et al 1998). As pointed out by Bequette et al (1998), these temporal blood¯ow responses are similar to the changes in circulating hormones in dairy cows fed at similar intervals (Sutton et al 1988).…”
