	abstract = {Besides the caseins and major whey proteins, cows{\textquoteright} milk contains a wide range of less abundant proteins that have functions associated with host defence, and are thought to play a role in protection against microbial infections (Stelwagen et al. 2009; Wheeler et al. 2007). Microarray analysis has shown that complex changes in gene expression occur in the bovine mammary gland in response to drying-off, including up-regulation of host-defence associated genes (Singh et al. 2008). The abundance of at least some proteins encoded by these genes can be altered in response to milking frequency and at different stages of the lactation cycle.},

	abstract = {Mastitis is an inflammatory condition of the udder that is highly prevalent in cows on New Zealand dairy farms. It results in reduced production, increased treatment costs and lower profitability (Petrovski et al.,2006). An elevated somatic cell count (SCC) in the milk, mainly due to recruitment of immune cells to the site of infection, is the most widely accepted standard for diagnosis of subclinical infection whereas bacteriological culturing is typically used for identification of the causative pathogen from clinical cases (Moyes et al.,2009; Schukken et al.,2003). At present, both tests require laboratory analysis and are not routinely performed on individual cows throughout lactation.},
