  1. aalso provided colostrum
  2. bPost-mortem TSE status was determined by immunohistochemistry as described previously [12] and is shown as number of positive LRS tissues/number examined & PrPsc in brain (P = positive; N = negative). CAEV status was determined serologically
  3. – = clinically unremarkable or negative serology result; ± = inconclusive signs with regards to scrapie; + = clinically affected or positive serology result
