Abstract
Mammary leucocytes are the major contributors to natural defence again st mastitis after a microorganism has entered the gland. This paper re views the role of the neutrophil granulocyte during acute coliform mas titis in cows in the periparturient period. Qualitative and quantitati ve aspects of several neutrophil cell functions before and during expe rimentally induced infections are briefly discussed.
