Summary:The minimisation of neonatal mortality is critical for the success of an animal management programme. The period between calving and weaning is the most crucial period in the animal's life. A major management tool that could be used to reduce health problems in calves is feeding with colostrum. Colostrum is rich in energy, protein and vitamins (especially vitamins A, D, E and B12). Most importantly, colostrum is essential for newborns, in that it contains high levels of immunoglobulins, which transfer passive immunity to the calf, and thereby, enable it to fight with infections. The aim of the present study was to determine the correlation between serum Ig G levels and routine biochemical parameters in neonatal Holstein calves given colostrum with teat buckets separated soon after calving. For this purpose, serum was extracted from blood samples collected from 79 calves within 24-48 hours of calving. The passive transfer status of the calves was determined by measuring the Ig G content of serum by ELISA. Based on their serum Ig G levels, the calves were divided into 3 groups (insufficient n=13; partial n=14; and normal passive transfer n=52). Serum ALT, AST, GGT, ALP, LDH activities and serum BUN, creatinine, albumin, total protein, total bilirubin, triglyceride, cholesterol, and glucose levels were analysed. A statistically significant increase was determined in the serum GGT activity and total protein and urea levels of calves with normal passive immunity transfer by colostrum, compared to the other passive transfer groups (p<0.05). Even though slight differences were observed between groups regarding the remaining biochemical parameters, there is no significant differences were observed between the passive transfer groups for the other assayed parameters (p>0.05). In conclusion, these results showed that total protein and BUN levels in combination with the serum-GGT activity as a reliable criterion for the determination of passive transfer status can be used in newborn calves.Key words: Calf, clinical biochemistry, colostrum, passive transfer. Yenidoğan buzağıların pasif bağışıklık düzeylerinin rutin biyokimyasal yöntemler ile tahminiÖzet: Yavru ölümlerinin en aza indirilmesi, hayvancılıkta başarının önemli unsurlarından birisini oluşturur. Buzağılama ve sütten kesme aşaması arasında geçen süre hayvanın yaşamında kritik bir süreçtir. Buzağılarda sağlık sorunlarının azaltılması yönünde kullanılan önemli bir araç da kolostrumla beslemedir. Kolostrumun enerji, protein ve vitamin (özellikle A, D, E ve B12) içeriği yüksektir. Daha da önemlisi kolostrum enfeksiyonlar ile savaşmak için gerekli pasif bağışıklık öğelerinden immunglobulinlerin buzağılara aktarılması yönü ile vazgeçilmezdir. Bu çalışma, doğum sonrası kulübelere alınmış ve emzikli kovalar aracılığı ile kolostrum almış yenidoğan Holştayn buzağılarda Ig G düzeyleri ile rutin klinik biyokimya parametreleri arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Bu amaçla 79 baş buzağından doğumu izleyen 24-48 saat içerisinde kan örnekleri alınarak se...

“…Hadorn and Blum (1997) observed the same effect in calves. Again, Argüello et al (2004) observed that kids receiving various types of goat colostrum (chill, frozen) expressed maximum levels of Ig at about 24-36 h after birth. Recently Lima et al (2009) showed that, parallel to total protein, the highest concentration of gamma-globulin in goat kid receiving cow colostrum was obtained at 48 h of age after birth.…”

a b s t r a c tThis study evaluated the effect of colostrum from Azawak cows on plasma protein profile, growth, and survival in Red kids from Niger. Forty (40) newborn kids were allocated to one of two treatment-groups: control (free access to water and the mother) and colostrum (free access to water and the mother, but with additional 50 mL of colostrum/animal/day of birth and 25 mL/animal/day from the 2nd to 15th day of age). Blood samples were collected into EDTA vacutainer tubes by jugular puncture at 10 and 30 days of age. Total protein was quantified by the Biuret method. The agarose gel electrophoresis was used to determine the serum levels of albumin, ␣-globulin, ␤ 1 -globulin, ␤ 2 -globulin, ␥-globulin and the albumin/globulin ratio. The animals from the colostrum group showed higher body weight and average daily gain when compared to the control group (P < 0.001). The average concentration in protein at the both sampling times reached higher values in the colostrum than in the control group. At D10, the colostrum group tended (P < 0.07) to show higher levels of ␣-globulin and had higher values (P < 0.05) for ␤ 1 -globulin. At D30, total protein and ␤ 2 -globulins were higher in colostrum group. Colostrum from Azawak cows seems to have positive effects on some plasma proteins levels and on growth rate in Red kids.

“…Existem, na literatura, trabalhos comparando o título de imunoglobulinas em cabritos recém-nascidos alimentados com colostro caprino, bovino, ovino e substitutos comerciais, e todos apontam para resultado comum, qual seja, que nenhum dos substitutos do colostro caprino é adequado como fonte de imunoglobulinas (Goes & Teixeira 1998, Orsel et al 2000, Zadoks et al 2001, Argüello et al 2004. Porém, no manejo do recém-nascido nos criatórios muitas vezes faz-se necessário o uso de colostros de outras espé-cies ou fontes para suprir deϐiciências na sua produção, como no caso de mastite, ou então para evitar a transmissão de determinadas enfermidades, como a artrite encefalite caprina (CAE), que sabidamente possui característica de transmissão vertical através do colostro/leite.…”

Pesq. Vet. Bras. 32(8):794-802, agosto 2012 794 RESUMO.-Após o nascimento, os cabritos são dependentes das imunoglobulinas colostrais devido às características placentárias que não permitem a passagem de macromolé-culas da circulação materna. De acordo com a literatura, os cabritos possuem capacidade absortiva por até quatro dias. Muitos aspectos ϐisiológicos de outras espécies são aceitos e utilizados para caprinos, mas aqueles relacionados à transferência de imunidade passiva precisam de investigação. Os objetivos do presente estudo foram determinar o período de passagem de macromoléculas da mucosa intestinal para a circulação e a duração da proteção humoral transferida Período de absorção intestinal de macromoléculas em cabritos recém-nascidos após a ingestão de colostro bovino 1
