Abstract

The present study was conducted to examine the effect of recombinant bovine somatotropin(${\gamma}$ bST), which was administered to cow to promote milk production, on bST levels in milk. Fourteen cows were divided into two groups: 1) control cows received neither y bST nor vehicle, 2) treated cows were administered twice at two-week interval with 500mg ${\gamma}$ bST each cow by subcutaneous injection. Milk samples were taken on day 0 (prior to injection), day 7 (7 days after 1st injection), day 21 (7 days after 2nd injection) and day 35 (21 days after 2nd injection).
