Extract

Eleven Shorthorn cows were milked for 14 days before their expected calving date. The total amount of prepartum secretion varied, between cows, from 1 to 961.

Determinations of total solids, fat, solids-not-fat, lactose, total protein, ash, calcium, phosphorus, chloride, casein, albumin, globulin, proteose-peptone, N.P.N., vitamin A and carotenoids were made regularly on the secretions of eight of these cows during the prepartum period, and for 4 days postpartum; and, for comparison, on five samples of Short-horn colostrum each representing the total secretion obtained from the two milkings within the first 24 hr. after calving.
