Impact of bovine lipocalin-2 haplotype on milk composition, somatic cell score and incidence of mastitis in Polish Holstein-Friesian cattle

Lipocalin-2 (LCN2) is a secreted protein, produced e.g. by neutrophils – the main group of cells involved in inflammatory conditions caused by pathogenic bacteria. So far, no studies have been carried out on the genetic variability of the LCN2 gene in cattle in terms of immunity/susceptibility to ma...
