Why Are Male Cattle Lactating? Hormones, Feedlots & Estrogenic Exposure
Researchers evaluated more than 20,000 finished cattle from 33 feedlots and found that approximately 17% of the male cattle they examined were lactating. While the researchers did not establish the cause, they did raise one possibility: Excess body fat as greater amounts of body fat can provide greater capacity for estrogen production.
The author of this article proposed that in addition to excess body fat, these external factors are also adding to the problem:
– Hormonal growth promotants.
– Phytoestrogens.
– Estrogenic mycotoxins.
– Agricultural pesticides used in growing their feed.
– Pest-control pesticides and chemicals used in and around the feedlot.
