The Physiology of Milk Production

Department of Dairy Industry, New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station, New Brunswick

ABSTRACT

Conclusion: What are the results of the studies on the physiology of milk production? First, there is a much better understanding of the entire milk secretion process, which offers considerable satisfaction to those with inquiring minds. Second, physiological differences between high and low producing cows are becoming apparent and it may be possible eventually to use this information in the breeding of dairy cattle. Third, with further experimentation it should be possible to prepare consistently barren dairy animals for lactation.

The American Dairy Science Association can be proud of the contributions made by its members to the physiology of milk production.
