Effects of transport stress on white blood cell and differential counts in lactating cows. White blood cell count (A), numbers of neutrophils (B), lymphocytes (C), monocytes (D), and eosinophils (E), and neutrophil:lymphocyte ratio (F) were measured for the pre-transport (−24 h), during transport (1, 2, 4 h), and post-transport (+2, +24, +48 h). NTG, non-transported group; TG, transported group. ■ ●: Represent the significant difference (p<0.05) in the data after transport periods compared with pre-transport (−24 h). Asterisks mean significant difference between NTG and TG (* p<0.05, ** p<0.01, *** p<0.001).
