Should Cows Be MIXED
Before They Freshen?
By J. O. TRETSVEN

prepartum milking, never producing
an appreciable amount of milk before
parturition. Others responded by pro-
ducing varying amounts-a few more
than 80 pounds on the day preceding
the birth of the calf Production of
prepartum cows was similar to that of
the control animals Animals produc-
ing the large amounts of milk pre-
ceding calving produced considerably
more milk during their 1actation than
did those producing small amounts
prepartum, but variation within these
groups was large. Peak production for
both lots was reached during the fifth
week. Production curves for full 1acta-
ton for both lots are similar. =
Retained PIacenta
Prepartum milking was found to
have no effect on the incidence of milk
fever or on the length of CESSATION. A
statisically significant increase in re-
tanned placenta occurred in the pre-
partum lot, and the higher the pre-
partum production, the greater was the
incidence of this trouble. The animal
producing 20 pounds of milk or more
on the day before parturition were
much more likely to retain their pIa-
centa than those which did not respond
to such milking.
"Cows which were prepartum MIXED
also had more swelling and congestion
of the udder and Emphatic edema than
did the control cows The difference
was not statisticaIIy significant.
1.-THE composition of colostrum and
early milk from prepartum and non
prepartum animals was determined
Ascorbic acid, riboflavin and vitamin
A showed decrease throughout the
prepartum period of milking, although
in some cases the vitamin A concentra-
ton showed a rise at the time of caIv-
ing. However, in general, the colostral
quality of the secretion was gradually
lost as the amount of prepartum milk
increased. If COW was producing 20
pounds or more on the day preceding
parturition Cor total of approximately
80 pounds or more) the milk was ap-
parently normal at the time the calf
was born.
No Difference in Calves
mo differences were apparent be-
tween the calves of the prepartum
MIXED cows and the controls, as indi-
Gated by birth weight, rate of growth,
as measured by height at withers and
weight, frequency or persistency of
scours, hair coat, or vitality.
Although the practice of prepartum
milking seems to do no harm either to !
the cow or her calf, it seems to offer
little to justify the time and labor in
The above statement that "a statistic
ally significant increase in retained |
placenta (afterbirth) occurred in the
lot and the higher the pre-
oartun production the greater was the
incidence of this trouble is news, as
)ther research workers have not re-
ported any trouble in this respect from
ore-miIking.
Now the question. Should we practice
milking cows before they freshen? Per
laps the Danish farmers had the an
;wer. They limited pre-milking to cows
hat deveIoned excessively large udderS.
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1955-11-15


milking cows that developed excessively
large udders before calving. The thought
was that pre-milking would reduce con-
gestion. and excessive weight of the
udder. How long Danish farmers had
practiced pre-milking is not known.
Shortly after the beginning of this
century, articles started appearing in
farm papers advising against milking
cows before calving. Some of the col
lege text books also advised against
pre-milking. Eckles states, milking
before the birth of the calf should sell
dom, if ever, be practiced +. Milking
previous to the birth of the calf tends
to delay the onset of parturition on ac-
count of the close relation between the
nerves of the udder and of the repro
ductive organs. Sometimes, as a result
of milking, parturition may be delayed
week or more and when it does come
the contractions of the uterus which ex-
pei the fetus are weaker than normal,
resulting in more trouble in the deliv-
cry of the calf"
recommendations Vary
In more recent years research work
ers at number. of the state agricul-
tural experiment stations have con-
Quoted tests to obtain information as
to the advantages and disadvantages
of prepartum milking. Unfortunately,
the results obtained by the research
workers have varied greatly as have
their recommendations. Some of the
research workers report that pre-milk-
ing reduces congestion in the udder
and thus prevents the development of
penduIent udders and, in turn, lessons
the danger of mastitis. Other research
workers have found no reduction in
congestion or edema nor the time re-
quired for the udder to become normal.
Some research workers report that
pre-milking may reduce the incidence
of milk fever, others found no advan-
tage in this respect 1t is also claimed
by some that cows will get into full pro-
duction sooner by pre-milking and, in
turn, will produce more milk during
the Iactation period. Others report no
difference in production
Nearly all the research workers found
marked decrease in the carotene or
vitanin A content of the milk at calv-
ing time for prepartum MIXED cows
that had produced relatively large
amounts of milk GO pounds or more
daily prior to calving. Some difficulty
has been experienced in raising calves
on the milk produced from prepartum
MIXED cows following caIving. To avoid
this difficulty in raising calves, the
c0lostrum milk produced before fresh
ening has been put in small cans and
frozen for later use when the calf is
dropped
Some variation has been found in the
Ehiamin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid
and ascorbic acid content of colostrum
and normal milk.

cultural Experiment Station prepared

There are two other issues to be presented vot-

other an expenditure of about $1,000 to install fu-

Parallel parking is familiar issue, fluoridation

In Montana number of communities are start

In Columbia Falls the vote is not apt to favor

and find out more about the topic
There are three films available at the State
Board of Health in Helena, that be obtained by
