Breed-dependent associations of production characteristics with on-farm seropositivity for Ostertagia ostertagi in dairy cows
This study indicated differential associations of O. ostertagi seropositivity and production level of cows depending on breed. Our results suggest that seropositivity is associated with lower milk yield, milk fat and milk protein in high-performance dairy breeds, whereas no such association may be present in dual-purpose breeds.
