Description
Esterina Fazio and co-workers track blood hormones and chemistry across lactation in dairy cows, in a 2024 paper. Milk production brings wide changes in hormones and body chemistry. Past studies rarely compared the early, middle, and late phases in detail.
The team sampled thirty healthy cows from three breeds at set intervals through lactation. They measured two sex hormones, a stress hormone, salts, and a range of blood markers. Hormone levels rose and fell in clear patterns across phases, and some markers differed by breed. Several measures moved together, such as the main pregnancy hormone with certain salts. The results map normal change over the milk cycle.
