Hi Emily, Normal as opposed to immune serum. If a goat outside of a "Specific Pathogen Free (SPF)" facility were to actually have no Ab's it would be far from normal! I'm picturing the Boy in a Bubble episode on Seinfeld- only substitute one kid for another!! LOL (or groan if you prefer). Enjoy the day folks! Greg

The goat hasn't been exposed to any specific antigen, therefore it's normal?
