Short-term increases in MF during early lactation may have both an acute effect and a carry-over effect on MY once the animals have returned to less frequent milking (Hale et al. 2003). The critical period for increased MF to generate a carry-over effect on MY is within the first three weeks of lactation and may only need to be applied for as little as 14 days ... continued</span></p>
