Local regulation of increased milk yield due to early lactation increased milking frequency
Increased milking frequency (IMF) during early lactation increases milk yield not only during the IMF period, but also after the cow is returned to twice daily milking (2X). The increase in yield is locally regulated within the gland; however the mechanism for the increase in yield is unknown. The …

The Physiology of Enhanced Milk Yield Through Increased Milking Frequency in Early Lactation
Increased milking frequency (IMF) in early lactation is a time and cost-effective farm management practice to enhance profit in the dairy industry. The process involves milking cows more often in early lactation alone. On farms that milk twice daily (2X), early lactation cows are milked four times …

Evaluating the duration of increased milking frequency during early lactation for increased yield through lactation
Increasing the milking frequency of early lactation dairy cows increases their milk yield, both during increased milking and after the cows are returned to a normal twice-daily milking schedule. When milked four times a day (4X) for only the first twenty-one days of lactation, the right udder half …

Local Regulation of Milk Synthesis Capacity in the Mammary Gland of Lactating Dairy Cows
… dissertation aimed to investigate the effects of increased milking frequency (IMF), heat stress (HS), and cell heterogeneity as key contributors to the regulation of mammary gland milk synthesis capacity in lactating Holstein cows. The first study evaluated the implementation of IMF with 2x and 4x …
