Immunoglobulin G content and colostrum composition of different goat and sheep breeds in Switzerland and Germany.

Journal of Dairy Science, 2019
Colostrum represents the sole source to acquire humoral immunity and is an important energy source for newborn lambs and goat kids. However, colostrum composition (i.e., the contents of IgG, fat, protein, and lactose) is affected by various factors such ...

Colostrum: back to basics with immunoglobulins.

Journal of Animal Science, 2020
Colostrum is a vital component to the raising of nearly all mammalian newborns, especially those reared domestically for agricultural purposes. Colostrum contains multiple immunoglobulins (Ig; IgA, IgM, IgG, etc.), with the most abundant Ig in colostrum ...

Human Milk Practices in Swedish Neonatal Units: Results From a Nationwide Survey

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim The aim of this study was to describe the routines for handling mother's own milk and donor human milk in Swedish neonatal care units related to national guidelines. Methods A web‐based survey of 24 of 38 neonatal units and 19 of 28 human milk banks in Sweden. Results Despite national guidelines, breast milk handling varied widely.

Evaluation of factors associated with immunoglobulin, protein, fat and lactose concentrations in colostrum of dairy cows from Austria

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica
Background Calves rely on the passive transfer with immunoglobulins derived from colostrum. Currently, there is a lack of knowledge on colostrum management practices and colostrum quality on small scale family-owned dairy farms in Austria. The objectives

Marked variability in bioactivity between commercially available bovine colostrum for human use; implications for clinical trials

PLoS ONE, 2020
Background Colostrum, the milk produced during first few days after birth, is rich in immunoglobulins, antimicrobial peptides & growth factors. Multiple clinical trials using bovine colostrum are ongoing but with no assessment of test product bioactivity.
