Effect of exogenous oxytocin on cisternal and alveolar milk yield in murrah buffaloes
2008
Bidarimath, Mallikarjun | Aggarwal, Anjali
Lactating cows have more than 20 per cent of milk as cisternal fraction (Bruckmaier and Blum, 1992) but in buffaloes, cisternal milk accounts to about 5 per cent (Thomas et al., 2005). This could be the reason for more milk let down time in buffaloes (Ludri, 1980) than the cows. The information on effect of different doses of exogenous oxytocin on cisternal and alveolar milk fraction is not available. Therefore, the present study was taken to study the effect of oxytocin on cisternal and alveolar milk, milk let down time, milking time and milk flow rate in Murrah buffaloes.
