Effect of pre-weaning concentrate supplementation on peripheral distribution of leukocytes, functional activity of neutrophils, acute phase protein and behavioural responses of abruptly weaned and housed beef calves

Table 4 Effect of concentrate supplementation for 26 d pre-weaning on neutrophil surface expression of CD62L, and neutrophil phagocytic and oxidative burst activity in abruptly weaned and housed beef calves

T = treatment, S = sampling time, T × S = treatment × sampling time interaction.
CS = concentrate supplement prior to abrupt weaning (n = 10). NCS = no concentrate supplement prior to abrupt weaning (n = 10).
¹Levels of significance: NS = P > 0.05, * = P < 0.05, ** = P < 0.01, *** = P < 0.001. ^{a, b, c}Within a row, least squares means without a common superscript differ (P <0.05).
²CD62L = L-selectin marker.
³Mean fluorescence intensity = MFI.
