Abstract
Summary 1. It has been found possible, where a preliminary dry milking is omitted, and strippings left in the udder, to increase the yield and percentage of butterfat in the milk during the following two days. 2. Total milk flow during the following two-day period, can be increased in this way, to conceal at least a 3 per cent padding of milk weights. 3. Breed as a factor, does not appreciably effect this influence. 4. The influence with high and low producing animals was relatively the same. 5. In view of these facts, a preliminary dry milking is essential, in order to obtain a representative “official” production during the two-day test in conducting semi-official records.
