Mammary epithelial cell exfoliation increases as milk yield declines, lactation progresses, and parity increases

Milk yield (MY) naturally declines after peak lactation. One approach to improving production is to increase lactation persistency, or the length of time a cow maintains lactation. To do so, cows must maintain functional secretory mammary epithelial cells (MEC), which synthesize milk. Some viable ME...
