Figure 3From: Peripheral and gastrointestinal immune systems of healthy cattle raised outdoors at pasture or indoors on a concentrate-based rationEosinophil and mast cell count in the abomasal mucosa. Eosinophil (Figure 3A) and mast cell (Figure 3B) counts in the abomasal mucosa of indoor (shaded bars) and outdoor (clear bars) cattle during summer and winter are depicted as mean ± SEM. P values for the treatment, localization and treatment × localization effects are 0.020, 0.001, 0.006, respectively for eosinophils and 0.093, 0.001, 0.300, respectively for mast cells.Back to article page
