The Newman-Goldfarb Protocols for Induced Lactation ® were developed from information published in Dr. Newman’s book “Dr. Jack Newman’s Guide to Breastfeeding” (Harper-Collins, ). In the US the title is “The Ultimate Breastfeeding Book of Answers” by Dr. Jack Newman (Prima Publishing, ). The Biology of Induced Lactation. Book: Biology of lactation. pp.x + pp. us Abstract: Following a general discussion of the mammary gland and its secretion, the author describes the anatomy of the gland in several laboratory and domestic animals domestic animals Subject Category: Organism GroupsCited by: Learn Lactation Biology from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Lactation and especially milk, which is the product of that unique mammalian process, are routinely encountered within our daily lives. Nevertheless, they often are poorly /5(4).

Lactation describes the secretion of milk from the mammary glands and the period of time that a mother lactates to feed her young. The process can occur with all post-pregnancy female mammals, although it predates humans the process of feeding milk is also called breastfeeding or n infants often produce some milk from their own breast tissue, known colloquially as. This book had its genesIs In the frustrations of the editors in locating authoritative, up-to-date material for an interdisciplinary graduate course in mammary gland biology, lactation, and breast-feeding. As we turned to the original literature several reasons for the dearth of usable material became clear: (1) In the areas of mammary gland. This chapter discusses the comparative physiology of lactation in farm animals. The physiology of lactation has attracted scientists involved in research with farm animals since a long time. One motivation was the relevance of lactation for animal husbandry. Successful scientific approaches were based on well developed and comparable : H. Karg.
