What hormone is important in the milking process?(a) Oxytocin(b) Thryoxine(c) Tri-iodothyronine(d) Parathyroid hormoneThe question was posed to me during an online exam.My doubt stems from Cows in Dairy topic in division Building Blocks of Dairy Processing of Dairy Engineering

Answer» CORRECT choice is (a) Oxytocin

Easy explanation: Before milking, less than 20% of the milk yielded by dairy cows is STORED within the cistern, where it is immediately available for removal. Most of the milk is available for the milking MACHINE only after milk ejection, which occurs in RESPONSE to tactile teat stimulation and oxytocin release.
