Neutrophils are considered as the first line of cellular defence in the mammary gland. Neutrophils
are more active in blood but once they cross the mammary barrier, their activity gets reduced
significantly. This reduction in the neutrophilic activity makes the mammary gland more
susceptible to infections. The decreased activities of the neutrophils are associated with altered
structural and functional integrity of the neutrophils. No information is available regarding
the alterations in surface architecture of the blood and milk neutrophils in early lactating
buffaloes. The current study was designed in Murrah buffalo cows during early lactation to
evaluate the structural alterations in both blood and milk neutrophils. Scanning electron
microscopy was carried out to evaluate the surface dynamics of the neutrophils. Phagocytic
activity was also estimated to correlate the changes in ultrastructure with activity of neutrophils.
The study concluded that the surface of blood neutrophils were more ruffled as compared to
that of milk neutrophils. Reduced ruffledness of the membrane of milk neutrophils indicated a
decreased neutrophilic activity and hence the chances of increased infection of mammary
gland during early lactation
