Low serum vitamin D concentrations in Spring-born dairy calves are associated with elevated peripheral leukocytes
Abstract A role for vitamin D in the immune system is emerging from human research but data in the bovine is limited. In the current study, 48 Holstein–Friesian calves were randomly assigned to one of 4 groups designed to expose calves to divergent vitamin D levels for a 7 month period and to determ...
