Mammary metabolism was studied in 4 normal lactating goats (group N) and in 4 non-pregnant goats induced to lactate by hormonal treatment (group 1). Tissue was sampled by biopsy after 3, 9 and 18 weeks of lactation. Although milk potential was the same in both groups, group 1 produced 45% less milk than group N. The RNA-DNA ratio, activities of lipoprotein lipase (LPL), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and acetyl-CoA carboxylase, and the beta-casein % of in vitro protein synthesis were not significantly lower in the 1 than in the N goat mammary tissue. This suggests that differences in mammary cell hyperplasia during hormonal treatment, and not potential metabolic activities, partially accounted for the difference in milk yield levels. Milk composition was comparable in the two groups. However, milk fat in group N had a higher long-chain fatty acid content (stearic and oleic acids) during the first month of lactation due to the higher mobilization of body lipids in high-yielding animals. Another qualitative difference was the delayed increase in milk LPL secretion during the first 3 months of lactation in induced goats.
