“…The latter authors noted a significantly higher serum vitamin E concentration in lambs born to ewes given a single dose of vitamin E in late pregnancy (0.22 v. 0.10 mg/l) indicating the possibility to increase vitamin E transfer across the placenta by supplementing vitamin E in late pregnancy. However, the results in the current study are in agreement with several authors confirming that the newborn lamb is virtually void of IgG and vitamin E at birth and is thus dependant upon the transfer of IgG and vitamin E via the colostrum (Campbell et al, 1977;Njeru et al, 1994;O'Doherty and Crosby, 1997a) for protection from disease and increased survival.…”

“…In all lambs, serum IgG levels declined from 24 to 72 h post partum, indicating that no further absorption of IgG from the colostrum occurred and in fact IgG clearance from the blood stream is already well underway at this stage. This is in agreement with various authors, who stated that the lamb's small intestine becomes incapable of absorbing intact maternal globulins between 24 and 48 h after birth (Campbell et al, 1977;Gilbert et al, 1988). These results support the findings of Guinan et al (2005) and reinforce the importance of the correct mineral balance in final 2 weeks immediately prior to parturition.…”
