Effect of cooling during the dry period on immune response after Streptococcus uberis intramammary infection challenge of dairy cows

Heat stress in the dry period affects the immune status of dairy cows in the subsequent lactation. We hypothesized that cooling during the dry period improves immune response to postpartum intramammary infection (IMI) by environmental pathogens such as Streptococcus uberis. Cows were dried off 46 d...
