Effects of Prepartum Supplementation and Yeast Fermentation Products on the Progesterone‐Modulated Transfer of Passive Immunity in Bos indicus Cows

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Inadequate colostrum intake increases risks of calf morbidity and mortality. This study investigated the effects of prepartum and early postpartum supplementation and yeast fermentation products on late‐pregnant Bos indicus cows, and the role of progesterone in mediating passive immunity transfer.

Effects of Video‐Based Health Education on Birth Outcomes and Anaemia Status of Mothers in Dirashe District South Ethiopia: A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Undernutrition and infections during pregnancy result in low birth weight (LBW) and maternal anaemia. Social behaviour change communication (SBCC) can promote recommended health practices, potentially improving maternal and neonatal outcomes.

A Pilot Study on Management Practices in Dairy Farms in the Basque Country: Focus on Colostrum Feeding and Vaccination

Animals
Colostrum feeding is crucial for calf rearing to guarantee passive immunity transfer (PIT) of antibodies. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of different management practices on the calf’s immunological parameters focusing on vaccination and ...

The Quality of Colostrum and Its Effects on Calves Growth Characteristics in Holstein Cattle

Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2007
This study was carried out to determine colostrum quality in Holstein Cows. Colostrum quality has been estimated by using a colostrometer. The colostrometer works by measuring the specific gravity of colostrum and then takein advantage of the linear ...

THE CAROTENOID CONTENT OF COLOSTRUM

THE JOURNAL OF VITAMINOLOGY, 1956
The serum carotenoid level is markedly raised and the vitamin A level is decreased in the terminal stage of pregnancy. After parturition, however, this relationship becomes reversed. It is therefore suggested that the carotenoids present in colostrum are derived from serum carotenoids in the mother and this abnormality in the serum of the mother is due

Beyond Deterministic Fetal Programming: Intrauterine Exposures and the Multifactorial Origins of Adiposity

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Excess adiposity is not a recently developed problem but has existed since at least the upper Paleolithic, allowing evolutionary selection pressures to adapt the physiology of the pregnant woman and the feto‐placental unit for maternal and fetal protection.

Effective Components of Bovine Colostrum and Its Applications

Journal of Animal Reproduction and Biotechnology, 2018
Bovine colostrum is necessary for newborn calves to survive, grow and receive immunity from their mother. Cows in Korea produce about 35kg of colostrum, 4Kg of which is fed to the calf, and the rest is discarded.
