摘要:
A method of decreasing somatic cell count in the milk from a lactating ruminant comprises administering effective therapeutically effective amount of L-arginine, NCG or NAG to elevate blood plasma arginine levels in the ruminant. The L-arginine, NCG or NAG is administered during the gestation time period and/or during the lactation phase post parturition. Also disclosed is a method of improving mammary gland health in a ruminant as measured via somatic cell count in milk produced comprising administering effective therapeutically effective amount of L-arginine, NCG or NAG to elevate blood plasma arginine levels. The L-arginine, NCG or NAG administered during the gestation time period and/or during the lactation phase post parturition
