1The aim of this thesis is to increase our understanding of the role of polymorphisms in the bovine CXCR1 (IL8RA) gene in mammary gland immunity and udder health. Associations between CXCR1 polymorphisms and neutrophil viability, subclinical mastitis, clinical mastitis and milk yield were detected indicating CXCR1 to be a majorRead more

Because the teat cleaning process is done automatically on farms with an automatic milking system (AMS), hygiene management might differ. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between hygiene and udder health on farms with anRead more
