The potential value of cytokine, cortisol and vitamin D profiles in foals from birth to weaning for respiratory disease prediction on a farm endemic for <scp> <i>Rhodococcus equi</i> </scp> pneumonia
Periodic measurement of circulating steroid hormones and cytokines from birth to weaning was not predictive of pneumonia susceptibility and severity in foals on a farm with endemic pneumonia. Disease-associated IFN-γ differences warrant further investigation.
