Agalactous

/ˌeɪɡəˈlæktəs/ adjective

Definition

Characterized by or relating to the absence of milk production in a lactating animal.

Etymology

From Greek 'a-' (not) and 'galakta' (milk) with the Latin adjective suffix '-ous.' This medical term describes the condition of lacking milk.

Kelly Says

The study of agalactous conditions has helped veterinarians and farmers understand that stress, poor nutrition, and infections can literally shut down milk production—it's a reminder that an animal's health affects every system in its body!
