Lactation is the period of time that a mother secretes milk from her mammary glands. The lactation cycle is the period between one calving and the next. The cycle is split into phases; the early, mid-lactation, late lactation and the dry period. Lactation can impose the greatest requirements for nutrients, several times the amounts required for maintenance. Even for meat type animals, lactation is a dominant factor in nutrient requirements. This book focuses on lactation in farm animals.
