[Daily variations in plasma somatotropin in the lactating or dry goat]
Abstract:
In lactating goats, manual milking, feeding and certain conditions depending on milking routine may increase plasma growth hormone during day time. Growth hormone basal levels were higher in lactating goats than in dry goats. Statistical difference between the means was highly significant.
