Plain Language Summary

Twice-daily injections of sermorelin (GRF 1-29) significantly increased milk production in lactating goats. The treatment had a slightly positive effect on voluntary feed intake but a negative impact on energy balance, suggesting the goats were mobilizing body reserves to support the higher milk output.
