  • In 1937, the administration of BST was shown to increase the milk yield in lactating cows by preventing mammary cell death in dairy cattle. (wikipedia.org)
  • An average dairy cow begins her lactation with a moderate daily level[clarification needed] of milk production. (wikipedia.org)
  • Administration of rBST or BST prior to peak production, in cows that are well-fed, slows the rate at which the number of mammary cells decreases, and increases the amount of nutrients directed away from fat and toward the mammary cells, leading to an extension of peak milk production. (wikipedia.org)
  • Thanks to this new paradigm, novel alternatives for regenerative medicine in humans, improved animal breeding in domestic animals and approaches to species conservation through reproductive methodologies have emerged. (bioscientifica.com)
  • Plots of log fetal weight versus log placental weight also indicate that fetal weights are less sensitive to reduced placental weight (and therefore reduced intrauterine space) in early gestation compared to late gestation. (biomedcentral.com)
  • This is congruent with adding an estrus cycle length (21 days) to the normal gestation length before calling it true prolonged gestation due to the problem of inaccurate service date recording, assuming the cow conceived at the last recorded service, and hence inaccurate gestation length calculation.

  • These findings suggest a link between glucose, fructose, glucosamine synthesis, GAG production, and placental morphogenesis, but the details of these interactions remain unclear. (biomedcentral.com)
