Effect of abrupt weaning and subsequent housing on total leukocyte, neutrophil, and lymphocyte number in beef cows. TL = Total leukocyte number, L = lymphocyte number and N = neutrophil number. Significant differences between d 0 (pre-weaning) and d 35 baselines (pre-housing) are denoted by asterisks; * = P < 0.05, ** = P < 0.01 and *** = P < 0.001. There was a tendency for a significant increase (P = 0.07) in total leukocyte number in beef cows at d 2 compared with d 0 and is denoted by †.
