Animals, 2022 Timely administration of good-quality colostrum represents the first farm strategy to avoid the failure of passive transfer (FPT). However, calves born during the night are likely to be fed later than recommended.

Validation of Brix refractometer to estimate immunoglobulin G concentration in goat colostrum [PDF]
Veterinary World, 2021 Background and Aim: Immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentration is high in goat colostrum, particularly in the first few hours after parturition, and this is important for the kid's immunity and growth.

Dairy, 2021 The main purpose of bovine colostrum, being the milk secreted by a cow after giving birth, is to transfer passive immunity to the calf. The calves have an immature immune system as they lack immunoglobulins (Igs). Subsequently, the supply of good quality

Evaluation of on-farm tools for colostrum quality measurement [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2015 The objectives of this study were to determine the immunoglobulin G (IgG) content of colostrum on Alberta dairy farms and to determine which on-farm tool, the colostrometer or the Brix refractometer, was more highly correlated with IgG content as determined by radial immunodiffusion (RID).

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 ...
