	abstract = {Forty-two identical twinsets were milked either once (ODM) or twice  (TDM) daily and offered pasture and silage, either to appetite (H) or  restricted to 50-60\% of this level (L) for the last 5 weeks of the 93/94  season. Pretreatment, uninfected cows produced 8.45+/-0.28 1 milk/d  (mean +/- S.E) with a mean somatic cell count (SCC) of 37.1+/-3.3 x  10/3 cells/ml). Milk yields were significantly reduced (P<0.001) by L  nutrition and by ODM. LogSCC was significantly increased (P<0.05) by L  nutrition, due to reduced milk volumes but was not affected by ODM.  Concentration of the serum-derived proteins, immunoglobulin G and bovine  serum albumin, increased significantly for L nutrition and ODM. This  suggests that involution had been accelerated in these animals, whose  average daily milk yield was below 5 1/d. In late lactation milking  should be discontinued for cows with milk yields of less than 5 1/d as  involution may be initiated below this yield.   },
