Greetings dear @eunoia101, thank you for your valuable question that complements the content soialized in the manuscript.

It is important to highlight that in the article I refer to the drying of the cow as a management practice, which is carried out in advance of childbirth to avoid causing a wear of the animal's udder tissues and thus after childbirth have an udder rested for the new lactation period.

As for whether this management can be carried out in other species of ruminants, I must answer that yes this practice can be applied in species of sheep and goats producing milk.

See you later friend, have a great week.
