In the world of agriculture and veterinary science, understanding the immune systems of livestock is crucial for improving animal health, productivity, and overall welfare. Cattle, pigs, and chickens are among the most economically significant livestock species globally, each facing unique infectious challenges. The immune systems of these animals have evolved in distinct ways, influenced by their differing physiology, natural habitats, and the types of pathogens they encounter through their lives. An in-depth comparison of the differential immune systems of these species reveals not only the complexity of their immune responses but also provides insights into how best to manage their health in farming practices. Cattle, being ruminants, have a particularly complex immune system that benefits from a specialized gastrointestinal tract and a unique microbiome. Their immune response involves both innate and adaptive components, with a strong emphasis on the role of…
