Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate expression of a cluster of genes encoding β-defensin antimicrobial peptides in neutrophils of postpartum cows in relation to prepartum dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD), vitamin D, and postpartum disease.This work was funded in part by funds from Arm and Hammer Animal Nutrition (Princeton, NJ) and USDA Hatch Project FLA-ANS-005309 through the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences
