“…The immunoglobulins are considered to be one of the most important chemical parameters in colostrum, because they provide antimicrobial protection against infections and confer passive immunity to the newborn until its own immune system matures (Alexieva et al . ). The immunomodulatory effects of colostrum from farm animals, when consumed by humans, have been demonstrated in a number of models, including infectious diseases (Van Hooijdonk et al .…”

“…), which has led some authors to suggest the use of preparations from this product as a supplement in human healthcare (Alexieva et al . ). In recent years, the pharmaceutical and functional‐food industries have increased their search for bioactive compounds from natural foods, such as colostrum, to meet the demands of consumers that are interested in preventative medicine; colostral immunoglobulin supplements are commercially available in many countries.…”

Changes in the physicochemical composition of Murciano-Granadina goat colostrum were studied with postpartum time and season. Samples that were taken immediately after partum showed the best characteristics, with the highest concentrations of proteins, solids, urea and immunoglobulin G (IgG). Samples obtained in the spring showed the highest concentration of total IgG at all postpartum times assayed. Exhaustive statistical analysis showed that the physicochemical composition of the colostrum was greatly affected by the postpartum time and only slightly affected by the season. The high protein and total IgG concentrations make goat colostrum an interesting product for uses beyond the traditional ones.

“…Colostrum (early milk produced during the first few days after parturition) not only meets the unique nutritional needs of neonates, but also transfers passive immunity and promotes the growth and development of the gastrointestinal tract ( 1 , 2 ) . While the need for colostrum in neonates is well established, the systemic effect of feeding BC orally to adult humans is gaining increasing attention ( 3 ) . Bovine colostrum (BC) contains several bioactive components ( 4 ) , including growth factors such as insulin-like growth factor-1, insulin-like growth factor-2, transforming growth factor β and epidermal growth factor, antimicrobial compounds such as lactoferrin, and immunomodulatory compounds such as Ig, transferrin and cytokines.…”

While the need for colostrum in neonates is well established, the systemic effect of feeding bovine colostrum (BC) to adult humans is gaining increasing attention. However, no systematic studies evaluating the immunomodulatory effect of BC in dogs have been reported. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the immunomodulatory effect of dietary supplementation of BC in dogs. The study was conducted in two phases: pre-test (8 weeks) and test (40 weeks), with twenty-four dogs (mean age 2·5 years) randomised into two groups. In the 'pretest' phase, both groups were fed a nutritionally complete diet. At the end of the 'pre-test' phase, all dogs received a canine distemper virus (CDV) vaccine, and dogs in the 'test group' were switched to a diet supplemented with 0·1 % spray-dried BC. Response to the CDV vaccine was evaluated by measuring vaccine-specific plasma IgG levels. Gut-associated lymphoid tissue response was assessed by measuring faecal IgA levels. Gut microbiota were evaluated by the temporal temperature gel electrophoresis methodology. Dogs fed the BC-supplemented diet demonstrated a significantly higher vaccine response and higher levels of faecal IgA when compared with the control group. Supplementing diets with BC also resulted in significantly increased gut microbiota diversity and stability in the test group. In conclusion, diets supplemented with BC significantly influence immune response in dogs.

“…Because colostrum is very important to the newborn, producers must often make provision to have a source of colostrum available if and when the dam does not provide enough high quality colostrum for the calf. In addition, numerous studies suggest that oral administration of bovine colostrum preparations may contribute to human health care both as part of a health promoting diet and as an alternative or supplement to the medical treatment of specified human diseases (Alexieva et al, 2004). Several studies have evaluated the changes in the chemical composition of cow colostrum after parturition, but there is not available information about buffalo colostrum which represents approximately 49% (Mal, 2008) of lactating ruminants in Egypt.…”

This Study was carried out to evaluate the changes in composition, heat stability and quality characteristics of Egyptian buffaloes' and cows' colostrum collected at calving, 4, 12, 24, 48, 72h and after 336h (14 days) of parturition. Total solids, total protein, whey proteins, fat, lactose and ash contents, some elements, vitamins (A and E) were determined. Heat stability, titrable acidity, pH value, specific gravity and viscosity were also estimated. Total protein and whey proteins concentration were higher in cow than in buffalo colostrum, while total solids, fat, lactose and ash concentrations were higher in buffalo than in cow colostrum. All components decreased gradually as the transition period advanced except lactose which conversely increased. After 72h post-partum, concentration of total protein, whey proteins, fat, ash and total solids decreased by 47.2,72.2, 29.9, 30.0 and 28.9% for buffalo and by 45.1, 73.2, 31.5, 16.4 and 33.0% for cow colostrum. However, lactose concentration increased by 60.0% for buffalo and 68.4% for cow colostrum. The elements concentration of both colostrums tended to decline slightly toward normality on the 14 th day of parturition. Buffalo colostrum had a higher concentration of vitamin E than cow colostrum while, cow colostrum had a higher concentration of vitamin A in buffalo colostrum after 4h of partupition. The heat stability of buffalo and cow colostrums after 4h postpartum milk was 5.5 and 7.0 min respectively, and gradually increased in consequent milking i.e. 12h (8.7and 12.0 min), 24h (15 and 20 min), 48h. (24 and 29), and 72h. (30 and 41min), respectively. No coagulation/precipitation was occurred in 14 th days postpartum milk. Average acidity, pH, specific gravity and viscosity of buffalo and cow colostrum after 4h. postpartum milk was (0.39 and 0.33%), (6.3 and 6.35), (1.06 and 1.05), (5.8 and 5.05 cP) respectively, and significantly declined to (0.17 and 0.16%), (6.6 and 6.7), (1.o34 and 1.032) and (1.10 and 1.02cP), respectively in 14 th day postpartum milk. Therefore, the study recommends the need to address both bovine or buffalo colostrum during the first 72hours of birth and that of high nutritional value.
