A new dried milk sampling technique and its application for progesterone detection in cows.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new method for milk sample collection and storage, based on a dried milk sampling technique, is proposed. The method includes application of a whole milk sample to a porous membrane followed by drying. One hundred whole milk samples (dried and liquid) taken on day 21 post insemination were analysed for progesterone by ELISA and results for both dried and liquid samples were well correlated (r=0.911). Milk progesterone ELISA accuracy for pregnancy diagnosis in cows was 87%.

متن کاملDetection of delayed cyclicity in dairy cows based on progesterone content in monthly milk samples.
We examined whether infrequent milk sampling for progesterone analysis could be used as a management or diagnostic tool by the dairy farmer to predict delayed ovarian cyclicity in dairy cows. The data included 1040 lactations from 324 Swedish Red cows and 183 Swedish Holstein cows and were randomly divided into two datasets. A logistic regression model was fit to the first dataset and the model...

This study was conducted to determine the influence of two intermittent (1wk) and abrupt drying off methods on udder health index of dairy cows with 30d dry period. Eighteen multiparous dairy cows were dried off approximately 4 wk prior to the expected calving time in a completely randomized design. For intermittent milk cessation treatment, cows were dried off in the following manner. Milk sam...
