The Use of Nembutal Anesthesia in Milk Secretion Studies^*

Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station, Columbia

ABSTRACT

It was shown that goats maintained under nembutal anesthesia continue to secrete milk of normal composition at the normal rate. Comparisons between arterial and mammary venous blood samples drawn from goats anesthetized with nembutal showed that the uptake of milk precursors continues under these conditions. In view of these results it was pointed out that the adverse effects caused by excitement of the animal while drawing arterial and venous blood samples may be eliminated by the administration of nembutal.
