- This study examined inflammation and immune cell changes in the mammary glands of Holstein dairy cows transitioning between late lactation and the dry period, and from the dry period to early lactation.
- Healthy cows showed increased systemic inflammatory markers like TNF-α and haptoglobin after dry-off, along with changes in milk composition.
- Cell proliferation rates in mammary tissue were higher after dry-off, with specific immune cell populations varying between the late dry and early lactation stages.
The assessment of animal behavior serves as a valuable approach to identify illness and animal responses to environmental stimuli. Both heat stress and mastitis are reported to impact the behavioral responses of dairy cattle. However, little is known about the effects of heat stress on the lactating cow's behavioral responses to mastitis.

Importantly, the two groups were balanced for a number of environmental variables (e.g.
