“…Despite that fact that the complement system activity was not affected by the addition of either 9 or 18 g of DHA-Gold ® /L MR, activities of both the total complement system as well as the alternative pathway were detectable after the first days of life. These results are different from those reported by Castro et al [ 50 ], who did not detect any complement system activity in goat kids fed with milk replacer during the first 60 days of life. Nevertheless, these authors described that the addition of conjugated linoleic acid into milk replacer caused an earlier activation of the complement system.…”

“…Despite the fact that lambs from the C4 group showed lower TCA and ACA during most of this period, no differences among groups were observed at the end of the milk feeding period. In addition, ACA seems to be the most important pathway in the three groups, as was described by Hernández-Castellano et al (2015b) and Castro et al (2008) in newborn lambs and newborn goat kids, respectively. Figure 2 shows the BW, IgG and IgM concentrations and complement system activity (TCA and ACA) in the NR, C4 and C8 groups during the weaning period.…”

“…Moreover, dam milk contains some complement system components that are not present in milk replacer. In a similar way, Castro et al (2008) showed the importance of dam milk in earlier complement system activation compared to milk replacer feeding. Nevertheless, no differences were observed between the C8 and NR groups at day 4, showing that the C8 group had an earlier complement system activation than the C4 group, perhaps because of the greater amount of colostrum received by the C8 group.…”

“…The complement system activity was determined according to Castro et al . () using fresh plasma (without freezing) from each fish. Rabbit red blood cells were added to normal plasma and incubated at 20°C.…”
