“…Others (13,14) also reported that PV increased as age increased to approximately 24 h because of the absorption of water and protein from the gut. Conversely, Matte et al ( 9 ) reported a decline in PV in calves fed colostrum at later ages. Estimates of PV declined from 14.5% of BW in calves that were initially fed colostrum at 6 h of age to 7.9% of BW in calves that were initially fed colostrum at 36 h of age.…”

The concentration of immunoglobulin ( I g ) G in the blood of neonatal calves shortly after birth is a widely used criterion to determine the degree of acquisition of passive immunity. Another method used to determine the biological mechanisms of IgG absorption is calculation of the apparent efficiency of IgG absorption. Estimation of the efficiency of IgG absorption requires the estimation of plasma volume in neonatal calves. Previous estimates of plasma volume in a few calves of varying breeds have been made; the estimates ranged from 7 to 14.5% of body weight (BW). Holstein ( n = 97 from four farms) and Jersey ( n = 49 from one farm) calves were fed fresh maternal colostrum or colostrum that had been previously frozen. Calves were fed 2 L of colostrum at 4.1 h (SE = 0.2; range = 0.3 to 11.0 h ) and 12 h later. Plasma volume was measured by determining the concentration of Evans' blue dye in a jugular blood sample collected 10 min after injection of approximately 1.5 ml of 1.5% Evans' blue dye. Factors that affected plasma volume (milliliters) were BW, breed, and age at sampling; r 2 of the regression was 0.60. Factors that affected plasma volume (percentage of BW) were BW, breed, and age at sampling; r 2 of the regression was 0.08. Mean plasma volume for all calves was 3162 ml (SE = 79) and was 9.86% of birth BW (SE = 0.15%). Mean plasma volume was 2250 ml (9.71% of BW) and 3623 ml (9.94% of BW) for Jersey and Holstein calves, respectively. Body weight was the best predictor of plasma volume. (

“…However, the transition of immunoglobulins obtained from colostrum takes place within a limited period of time. The small intestine of lambs begins to lose the ability to absorb maternal antibodies within 24-48 h after birth (8,9,11,13,14). The end of the intestinal wall permeability to macromolecules in newborn animals is called "intestinal closure" (4,15).…”

“…If the intake of antibodies from the colostrum is insufficient or absent, a significantly higher risk of morbidity or mortality exists (McGuire et al, 1976;Donovan et al, 1986;Rea et al, 1996). Because the calf's limited ability to consume a high volume at birth and IgG1 absorption from the intestine decreases significantly during the first 24 h (Matte et al, 1982), sufficient IgG concentration in the consumed colostrum of first milking is a prerequisite for the protective passive immune defense of the newborn calf.…”

The provision of quality colostrum with a high concentration of immunoglobulins is critical for newborn calf health. Because first colostrum may be low in overall concentration to effectively reduce the risk of newborn infections, we tested equivalent milking fractions of colostrum for possible IgG differences. The objective of this study was to determine if the fractional composition of colostrum changes during the course of milking with a focus on immunoglobulins. Twenty-four Holstein and Simmental cows were milked (first colostrum) within 4 h after calving. The colostrum of 1 gland per animal was assembled into 4 percentage fractions over the course of milking: 0 to 25%, 25 to 50%, 50 to 75%, and 75 to 100%. The IgG concentration among the various fractions did not change in any significant pattern. Concentration of protein, casein, lactose and somatic cell count remained the same or exhibited only minor changes during the course of fractional milking colostrum. We determined that no benefit exists in feeding any particular fraction of colostrum to the newborn.
