Exogenous bovine growth hormone at a dose of 0.1 mg kg-1 liveweight increased yields of milk and milk constituents and milk fat content when injected over 5 days into ewes in mid-lactation. These changes in milk production were associated with changes in the supply to, and utilization of, nutrients by leg muscle and mammary tissues. Arterial concentrations of glucose and non-esterified fatty acids increased significantly, concentrations of lactate and 3-hydroxybutyrate tended to increase, and concentrations of triglycerides associated with very low-density lipoproteins decreased significantly. Growth hormone increased mammary uptake of non-esterified fatty acids, decreased mammary uptake of very low-density lipoproteins and tended to reduce the release of lactate from leg muscle. Oxidation of non-esterified fatty acids in the whole body and mammary tissue was increased by growth hormone and there was a tendency for reduction of glucose oxidation in mammary tissues. During injection of growth hormone, blood flow to leg muscle and mammary tissues increased as did the calculated ratio of blood flow; milk yield. These changes in blood flow, together with changes in arterial concentrations and tissue utilizations of key metabolites, were sufficient to account for the synthesis of extra milk and milk constituents.
