Formation of Blood Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Increases the Mastitis Risk of Dairy Cows During the Transition Period
27 Apr 2022
Abstract excerpt
The current study was conducted to analyze the functions of blood neutrophils in transition cows and their association with postpartum mastitis risk as indicated by somatic cell counts (SCCs) in milk. Seventy-six healthy Holstein dairy cows were monitored from Week 4 prepartum to Week 4 postpartum. Five dairy cows with low SCCs (38 ± 6.0 × 103/mL) and five with high SCCs (3,753 ± 570.0 × 103/mL) were selected...
