Protein Production in the Bovine. Daily Production of the Specific Milk Proteins during the Lactation Period

Abstract

The synthesis of a-casein, B-casein, a-lactalbumin, and B-lactoglobulin was mutually related and reached a maximum level about five days after parturition. The daily levels of these proteins were unrelated to those of Tcasein, the immune globulins, and milk serum albumin. Maximum protein synthesis occurred about five days after parturition; that of fat, lactose, and total milk volume required about one month. Editor.
