In any embodiment the method also optionally includes administering to the animal a milk-secretion stimulating amount of dexamethasone on approximately day 13 of the treatment. Furthermore, any embodiment the method may also optionally include adjusting the photo-period to which the animal is exposed in order to stimulate milk secretion.
