Creating models for the prediction of colostrum quantity, quality, and immunoglobulin G yield in multiparous Jersey cows from performance in the previous lactation and environmental changes

Journal of Dairy Science
: With multiparous Jersey cows, colostrum production seems to be variable. Due to this, we aimed to identify specific variables involved in colostrum production and quality. From 2021 to 2023, data from 28 US farms (415 multiparous Jersey cows) were used

Evaluation of Colostrum Quality, Passive Immunity, and Dairy Calf Management Practices in Alberta

, 2013
Failure of passive transfer of immunity (FPT) in dairy calves is associated with increased risk of morbidity and mortality. In this study, which involved 14 dairy farms in central Alberta, 44.2% of calves had FPT when serum total protein was used as a measure while 27.8% had FPT when serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) was used.
