# Neutrino energy density vs photon energy density

So I'm currently following a course in Cosmology and we're covering the densities of different species in the universe right now. Starting from the photon density $$\rho_{\gamma}$$ we need to derive the neutrino density. Apart from a different temperature and a factor 7/8 for the integral of the FD distribution I understand this. But for the photons, we have a degeneracy factor of 2 (two spin states). Then the book lists all characteristics for neutrinos (and the degeneracy factor):

• spin degree
• has antiparticles
• has three generations (flavours)

So I would expect the degeneracy factor of neutrinos to be 2 (spin) x 2 (antiparticle) x 3 (flavour) => g = 12, so another factor of 6 in front of the photon density (g= 12 vs 2). But the book and other books all list a degeneracy factor of 2 x 3 = 6 for the neutrinos. So this results in factor 3 in front of the photon density (together with the other described differences). Why is this? Is the antiparticle part of the neutrinos not taken into account? Can someone please help me.
