“…32 The increase in colostrum-forming mammary receptors (and thus IgG concentration) is accompanied by a drop in maternal blood IgG concentration in cattle. 9 A drop in the blood concentration of IgG was not noted in adult muskoxen (pregnant or nonpregnant) at any time during the study period; however, this finding is most likely a factor of sampling given that no samples were collected during the last 10-14 days of gestation, nor postpartum ( Table 1). The drop in the blood concentration of IgG would have been expected during this time period.…”

Poor calf production and ill thrift in 3-4 mo olds are common limiting problems in raising and maintaining captive muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus). Acute onset of a rapidly progressing enteritis and septicemia in neonatal calves (2-7 days of age) caused by Escherichia coli not normally considered pathogenic in domestic animals is a serious problem in many captive muskoxen facilities. Serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels, total protein, albumin, and globulin levels in captive periparturient muskox females and their neonatal calves were compared with levels found in other species in which these parameters have been well described. Results showed that all females in the study had IgG present in their serum (mean = 1,232.14 mg/dl, SD = 178.34 mg/dl, as measured via radial immunodiffusion). Calves were probably born agammaglobulinemic or hypogammaglobulinemic. IgG levels quickly rose in calves after initial colostrum intake to levels similar to those seen in other domestic ruminants. Our results suggest that passive transfer of immunity in muskoxen is similar to what is reported in domestic livestock and that reference ranges from domestic cattle may be used to assist interpretation of serum IgG levels in muskoxen. In addition, the positive relationship between serum protein and globulin levels with serum IgG levels is similar to that reported for Holstein cattle and thus provides a useful indicator of passive transfer in muskoxen.

“…Nagahata et al (1992) found no differences in the number of B lymphocytes during the peripanurient period but observed a decrease in the number of plaque-forming cells in peripheral lymphocytes from cows at parmrition and three days after parturition indicating that the function of B lymphocytes may decrease during the immediate postpartal period. Brenner et al (1995) found a significant decrease in serum and uterine IgG concentrations one week before to one week after parturition. Nonnecke et al (1998) also reported a decline in IgM production (five to one day before parturition) by MNL in Jersey cows.…”

Thus, some thesis and dissertation copies are in typewriter face, while others may be from any type of computer printer.The quality of this reproduction is dependent upon the quality of the copy submitted. Broken or indistinct print, colored or poor quality illustrations and photographs, print bleedthrough, substandard margins, and improper alignment can adversely affect reproduction.In the unlikely event that the author did not send UMI a complete manuscript and there are missing pages, these will be noted. Also, if unauthorized copyright material had to be removed, a note will indicate the deletion. (e.g., maps, drawings, charts) are reproduced by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand comer and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps.
