Results from this study1

No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Natural levels measured1

These results measure the body's own peptide. Nobody was given the peptide. They are not evidence about taking it. They are left out of key results, evidence counts and charts.

    In cows on the 2nd and 3rd day of the calf's life, saliva oxytocin was higher in German Black Pied dairy-type cows than in Simmental beef-type cows.

    In plain wordsIn cows, the body's own oxytocin in saliva was higher in dairy cows than in beef cows after calving.

    Summary · context
    Therefore, maternal behavior of 20 Simmental beef-type (S) and 20 German Black Pied (dairy-type) Cattle (BP) was assessed on the 2nd and again on the 3rd day of the calf's life.

    This result measures the body's own Oxytocin. Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
