The effects of administration of recombinantly derived bovine somatotropin (somidobove) in a sustained-release vehicle on the profiles of concentrations of bovine somatotropin (bST) in the blood plasma and on the milk yield of dairy cows of three herds were examined. Cows (36-87 days post partum) were treated subcutaneously with recombinant bST at 28-day intervals. In control animals, basal concentrations of bST averaged 1.4 ng.ml-1 in first-calf heifers and 1.5 ng.ml-1 in multiparous cows. In somidobove treated first-calf heifers, the concentration of bST was increased to 10.7, 14.5, and 27.0 ng.ml-1 at 24 h postinjection and in multiparous cows to 6.6, 11.0, and 11.7 ng.ml-1 on day 2 postinjection of 320, 640, and 960 mg of somidobove, respectively. On day 8 postinjection the average plasma bST levels of both parity groups are similar (on the average 3.4, 8.6, and 12.5 ng.ml-1 for three doses of somidobove respectively) and for the two highest doses being still significantly increased. During the 2nd week postinjection plasma bST concentration declined returning to control levels on day 15 postinjection. Somidobove-treated first-calf heifers produced 10.9, 16.7 and 17.9% and multiparous animals 25.5, 24.2 and 32.5% more milk than the controls when given 320, 640 and 960 mg somidobove, respectively. The cyclic pattern in milk yield within each 28-day injection interval was observed consistently in all herds. The milk yield increased to a maximum between day 4 to 8 postinjection and then slowly declined. Milk composition was not affected by somidobove treatment.
