Mammary gland biopsy of Sahiwal-Friesian cows

Mammary biopsy method facilitates assessment of mammary morphology and function from relatively large number of cows. In many mammary gland experiments, this approach would be a viable alternative in obtaining tissue postslaughter. A technique for mammary biopsy in Sahiwal-Friesian cows is described...

The loss of milk yield was no greater in biopsied glands than in control glands of the same cows. The milk yield and composition were rapidly and completely restored to pre-biopsy levels in the biopsied cows and from the normal quarters of the same cows were unaffected.
