“…This method was used for the first time in 70s to determine gama globulin levels in calves. According to ZST, neonatal lambs have total serum level is below than 12 are considered to indicate failure of PIT [30]. Enzymatic colorimetric kits can be used for estimate serum TP and albumin concentrations [67].…”

“…Failure of PIT may happen at different levels; including insufficient concentration of Ig in the colostrum due to lack of specific pathogen exposure or an inability to respond, insufficient intake of colostrum by litter, or lack of transmural Ig transfer from the neonatal intestine to blood. Hence, failure of PIT has been related multiple conditions of lambs, including respiratory disease, diarrhea, septicemia, and commonly omphalophlebitis [29,30]. All these conditions and lack of colostrum intake during first weeks of neonatal life, would affect the litter's whole life [31].…”

During last decades, production and consumption of small ruminant milk has been increased. As a result of it, sheep and goat farming has been developing and scientists are focused on these animal researches both clinical and feeding strategies. By the evolutionary challenges and adaptations, colostrum has a crucial role of immune complementation for litter. As a result of these challenges and adaptations neonatal life is especially more important in ruminants because of it affects their whole life and future of livestock. Passive immune transfer is the main mechanism that explained by biological evolution between dam and lamb and also it is effected by factors up to dam and up to the litter. Today importance of passive immune transfer is well known for the future of livestock economy and animal welfare. In the literature, researchers are focused on correlation between colostrum quality (especially immunoglobulin amounts) and blood serum levels of newborns. Aims of present review are to discuss datas of recent studies, point out different effecting factors in colostrum quality and passive immune transfer, enlighten and give new ideas to researchers.

During last decades, the production and consumption of small ruminant milk have been increased. As a result of this, sheep and goat farming have been developing and scientists are focused on clinical and feeding strategy researches on these animals. By the evolutionary challenges and adaptations, colostrum has a crucial role in immune complementation for litter. As a result of these challenges and adaptations neonatal life is more important especially in ruminants due to its lifetime effect and the future of livestock. The passive immune transfer is the main mechanism explained by biological evolution between the dam and lamb which is influenced by certain factors related to both dam and litter. Today the importance of passive immune transfer is well known for the future of livestock economy and animal welfare. In the literature, researchers are focused on correlation between colostrum quality (especially immunoglobulin concentration) and blood serum levels of immunoglobulin levels in newborns. The aims of the present review are to discuss data of recent studies and how passive immune transfer occurred in lambs as well as effecting factors and to supply new ideas to researchers.
