TRIENNIAL LACTATION SYMPOSIUM/BOLFA: Mammary growth during pregnancy and lactation and its relationship with milk yield.

Journal of animal science - 1 Dec 2017

Davis S R

Abstract excerpt

The number of secretory cells in the mammary gland is often cited as a major determinant of milk production. However, literature data for proxy measures of secretory cell number do not fully support such a claim. In particular, measurements of total mammary DNA in livestock explain only <25% of variation in milk yield, probably because of tissue heterogeneity for DNA concentration. Relative to BW, measurements of...
