Understanding Milk Synthesis Pathways in Bovine: A Comprehensive Overview

This detailed study explores the complex physiology of milk synthesis in bovine, focusing on fatty acid synthesis, circulation, translocation, and secretion processes within epithelial cells. It delves into key components such as FABP, MFGM, ACC, and UFA, detailing the role of various organelles like the Golgi body, lysosome, and ER. The text also discusses major fatty acids in bovine milk, the impact of rumen conditions on milk fat depression, and factors affecting milk protein concentration. Additionally, it examines udder pressure, secretion rates, and the influence of milking frequency on milk yield and composition. The intricate mechanisms of milk let-down, milk ejection, and the role of oxytocin are also explored, providing valuable insights into milk production in dairy cows.

  11. Milk Fat Concentration • Most variable component of milk • Increased during periods of energy deficit • Decreased when fed diets containing unsaturated fatty acids (most grains) and low effective fiber (change rumen conditions) • Milk fat depression (<2.8% fat) • Fatty acid changes also occur

  12. Milk Protein Concentration • Not too variable • Changes related to dietary energy intake, not dietary protein • little effect of dietary fat on milk protein concentration unless perturb normal rumen function • fermentable carbohydrate intake is the key! • Maximize VFA and microbial protein production

  13. Udder Pressure & Secretion Rate 1.5 1.0 Secretion Rate (kg/hr) (____) 0.5 0

  14. Secretion Rate • Influence of udder pressure • Milking intervals • 12 hour vs. other • 2X vs. 3X • young vs. old cows
