Summary

After an injection of oxytocin and the removal of residual milk, the milk obtained at the next milking had an increased content of sodium, chloride and whey proteins and a decreased content of lactose. The effect persisted for several milkings. It is suggested that this was due to a direct effect of oxytocin on the permeability of the mammary epithelium and that oxytocin should be used with caution in certain types of milk secretion experiment.
