Significant physiological changes in transition cows affect dry matter intake and immune function. Vitamin E is a vital fat-soluble vitamin for cells, influencing their signal transduction. However, limited research discusses the changes in vitamin E levels in bovine peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL...
