Validation of Brix refractometer to estimate colostrum immunoglobulin G content and composition in the sow

Animal, 2016
Colostrum is an essential source of immunoglobulin G (IgG) for neonate piglets. However, colostrum IgG content and nutritional composition can vary considerably among sows due to age, parity, feeding regime and immunological background.

Determination of total potentially available nucleosides in bovine milk [PDF]

, 2010
Bovine colostrum and milk samples were collected from two herds over the course of the first month post-partum, pooled for each herd by stage of lactation and total potentially available nucleosides were determined.

Changes in back fat thickness during late gestation predict colostrum yield in sows [PDF]

, 2013
Directing protein and energy sources towards lactation is crucial to optimise milk production in sows but how this influences colostrum yield (CY) remains unknown.

Extended colostrum feeding for 2 weeks improves growth performance and reduces the susceptibility to diarrhea and pneumonia in neonatal Holstein dairy calves.

Journal of Dairy Science, 2020
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of partial replacement of whole milk with colostrum on the growth performance and health status of Holstein dairy calves.

The effect of various heat-treatment methods on colostrum quality, health and performance of dairy calves

Acta Scientiarum: Animal Sciences, 2020
To investigate the effect of feeding heat-treated colostrum at different duration on the health and performance, 48 Holstein calves were enrolled randomly into four treatment groups before first feeding and consumed untreated colostrum (H0, n = 12 ...

Invited review: MicroRNAs in bovine colostrum-Focus on their origin and potential health benefits for the calf.

Journal of Dairy Science, 2020
Colostrum is the first milk produced by a cow after she gives birth. Compared with mature milk, it has a high concentration of immunoglobulin G. Calves are born without circulating antibodies, thus ingestion of colostrum is necessary to protect the calf ...

Transfer of passive immunity and survival in Jersey heifer calves fed heat-treated pooled colostrum

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
Acquisition of adequate transfer of passive immunity (ATPI) by calves depends on the absorption of sufficient mass of colostral immunoglobulin G (IgG).

Prolonged transition time between colostrum and mature milk in a bear, the giant panda, Ailuropoda melanoleuca [PDF]

, 2015
Bears produce the most altricial neonates of any placental mammal. We hypothesized that the transition from colostrum to mature milk in bears reflects a temporal and biochemical adaptation for altricial development and immune protection.

Composition and Factors Affecting Quality of Bovine Colostrum: A Review

Animals, 2019
Simple Summary In an attempt to improve the most important production traits of dairy cows, breeders omit the problem of calf rearing, whose regularity has a major impact on subsequent dairy and reproductive use.

Oligosaccharide concentrations in colostrum, transition milk, and mature milk of primi- and multiparous Holstein cows during the first week of lactation.

Journal of Dairy Science, 2020
The objective of this study was to characterize the oligosaccharide (OS) profile of colostrum and transition milk from primiparous (Pp, n = 10) and multiparous (Mp, n = 10) Holstein cows.
