Abstract excerpt
The objectives of this study were to evaluate (1) natural antibodies (NAb) in Canadian Holstein cows, (2) genetic parameters and associations between NAb and specific antibody (SpAb), and (3) the association of NAb with clinical mastitis and differences in incidence rates of clinical mastitis (IRCM) among cows classified as high, average, or low responders for NAb.
