Effects of Selenium Supplementation During Different Trimesters of Pregnancy on Total and Vibrio coralliilyticus Specific IgM Antibody Concentrations in Beef Cows at Parturition

Creator:

Zurita Cruz, Cindy

Abstract:

Background: The immune response to microbial infections is compromised in beef cattle at parturition. Innate and adaptive immunoglobulin M (IgM) serve as initial antibodies during microbial infection before the generation of adaptive immunoglobulin G (IgG).
