Summary

In each of 5 cows, 2 quarters which had been regularly milked throughout the whole of pregnancy produced less milk in the next lactation than the other 2 quarters which had a normal dry period. The concentrations of the individual constituents in the milk of all 4 quarters of each cow were similar. The effect appears to be due to factors located within the individual quarter of the mammary gland rather than to factors such as the hormonal background or plane of nutrition which affect the whole animal.
