6.7.1Primary production In the mammary gland, lactose is synthesized from glucose. The biosynthesis pathway and the other roles of glucose inmilk synthesisby the mammary gland are well known. Lactose synthesis is mainly studied for its important role in driving milk yield. However, the interrelatio...

One of the challenges faced by mothers after the birth of a premature infant is insufficient milk volume [17]. Breast milk production is influenced by two factors, production and secretion. Breast milk production is affected by prolactin hormone, while breast milk secretion is influenced by ...
Milking continues to be done by hand as it has been for thousands of years on farms all around the world. Cows on smallholder farms tend to be milked by the same people every day and become accustomed to their milker. Let-down is stimulated by the familiar sounds of milking preparations....
Estrogen and progesterone also may amplify the direct effects of prolactin or may induce additional receptors for this peptide hormone on appropriate target tissues in the breast. Endocrine control of mammary gland function Breast tissue is responsive to hormones, even as a rudimentary structure, as ...

Female milk production begins during pregnancy itself, where it is driven by hormone systems. However, the whole process is a bit more complicated than that. Mammogenesis This is the process of breast maturation, which begins during puberty and is finally completed during pregnancy. ...
Exposure to long day photoperiod is known to stimulate milk secretion in dairy cattle, but the mechanism has not been determined. Melatonin (MEL), which is produced by the pineal gland, is stimulated during darkness and has been known to mimic the short day signal when administered during long...
It is important to note that oxytocin does not stimulate milk production, a function that is under the control of the prolactin hormone released from the anterior pituitary upon suckling. However, cross-talk mechanisms between the oxytocin and prolactin secreting pathways have been described, ...
The effects of administering bovine growth hormone (bGH) on milk production in cattle were examined in two experiments.In experiment 1, a Latin-square design, three groups of four Friesian cows were injected daily with one of two doses of bGH (6 ng/kg and 30 ug/kg; 0·82 unit/mg) or...
