Lactation in kid and calf–Case reports

In the present paper two abnormal cases of prematurely developing mammary gland are reported. A kind started lactation from the age of twelve days and now it is giving 250–300 ml. of milk daily after attaining an age of four months. In another case, a two months old calf is found to have an abnormally developed enlarged udder which can also produce milk. The cases are studied and reviewed with the intention to find out the possible reasons lying behind these abnormal developments. Hormonal disbalance may play a major role in addition to the suspected effected of organochlorine toxicity.
