Abstract
The effects of milking frequency and exogenous somatotropin on milk MDGI were investigated in cows. High levels of MDGI in milk were found during lactation; however, despite significant changes in milk yield, neither milking frequency nor somatotropin affected MDGI. The data do not support a role for MDGI in acute regulation of mammary synthetic ability. Key words: Milking frequency, somatotropin, MDGI, bovine, lactation, differentiationKeywords
