Table 3 Plasma substance P concentration (PSPC) in the blood from the Vena jugularis (Jugular vein, BVJ) and Vena caudalis mediana (Tail vein, TV1) of animals according to feeding group and laboratory findings. Animals were kept in two different feeding groups (groups 1 (n = 18) and 2 (n = 24)) due to research purposes. PSPC between feeding groups did not differ significantly. According to laboratory findings, animals were either grouped as PHYS (21 clinically healthy cows with laboratory findings within the reference ranges) and MDEV (31 clinically healthy cows with mild deviations from the reference ranges). There were no significant differences in PSPC between PHYS and MDEV. Parameters are presented as mean with standard deviation (SD), and median. Ranges are given in brackets
