Local symptoms and milk production. Mammary clinical score (a), Cumulative local mammary score over the first 80 hours upon intramammary challenge (b), Daily production expressed as a percentage of the reference production before challenge (c), milk production from day 1 to 6 (% compared to reference production) (d) and subcutaneous inflammation of the udder gland (e) following intramammary challenge with Escherichia coli P4 at 0 h in first lactation heifers from three treatment groups: adjuvant only (black circles), intramuscular injections (blue squares) intramuscular (c) and intramammary injections (red triangles). Means and error bars, corresponding to standard errors of the mean for each treatment group at each sample point (a and b) or standard deviation (c,d and e), are presented. Letters (a,b,c) indicate a difference (p value < 0.05, Two-way ANOVA and/or Mann Whitney test) between control and IM groups, control and IMM groups, and IM and IMM groups respectively. Asterisk indicate a difference (P < 0.05, Two-way ANOVA and/or Mann Whitney test) between immunization groups.
