A method for rapidly increasing milk production in an animal, the method comprising:
- administering an immunogenic amount of a vaccine to an animal, the vaccine comprising a polypeptide conjugate comprising a target antigen that is somatostatin-14 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1, attached to an inactivated chloramphenicol acetyl transferase (CAT) enzyme by a linker polypeptide, wherein milk production is significantly increased within 4 days of the administration of the vaccine, relative to that of a control animal that does not receive administration of said vaccine.
