ABSTRACT
Eight multiparous cows, calved within a 1.5 week interval, grazing star grass (Cynodon nlemflensis), were milked at 3, 6, 9, 15 and 24 h time intervals. Secretion rate was measured four times at two-weeks intervals. Milk protein content was not affected, but fat and lactose decreased (P<0.0001) from 9 h onwards. Secretion rate and udder efficiency for all milk components started to reduce between 9 and 15 h onwards.
