Milk Yield of Holstein Cows Induced into Lactation Twice Consecutively and Lactation Curve Models Fitted to Artificial Lactations

Nineteen multiparous barren Holstein cows were subjected to an induction of lactation protocol for 21 d administering estradiol cypionate (2 mg kg−1 of body weight (BW) d−1, on day 1 to 14), progesterone (0.10 mg kg−1 of BW, on day 1 to 7), flumethasone (0.03 mg kg−1 of BW, on day 18 to 20) and reco...
