Abstract

The proliferation of blood lymphocytes from nonpregnant, nonlactating heifers was comparable with that of nonpregnant cows in their first lactation. Both low and high levels of β-hydroxybutyrate and low levels of prolactin, but not isoproterenol, reduced the proliferative response of dairy heifers and cows in their first or second lactation.
