Quantitative relationships between oestradiol-17beta in the milk and blood of lactating buffaloes.

The concentration of oestradiol-17beta was measured by radioimmunoassay in the milk and blood of lactating buffaloes after insemination. The concentration of oestradiol-17beta in milk was observed to be two to three times higher when compared with that in plasma samples. Major peaks of oestradiol-17beta in milk coincided with similar but smaller peaks occurring in plasma samples. In animals which were not pregnant, the major peak of oestradiol-17beta was recorded on the day of oestrus.

Blood and milk progesterone in pregnant and nonpregnant buffalo.

Changes in progesterone concentration of blood and milk were measured by radioimmunoassay in 10 Murrah buffalo up to 40 days after insemination. Progesterone concentration in blood plasma at estrus was .1 ng/ml which rose to a peak of 3.6 ng/ml on day 13. It continued to increase in animals that conceived but dropped to .6 ng/ml on 3 days before next estrus in those that failed to conceive. The average concentration of progesterone in milk was .5 ng/ml at estrus; it increased to 18 ng/ml on day 15, and thereafter it declined to 4.4 ng/ml 3 days preceding next estrus in nonpregnant animals. In pregnant animals, it was maintained and elevated further to 24.8 ng/ml on day 37. Progesterone in milk was four to five times higher than in blood plasma.
