Colostrum Management: Keys to Optimizing Output and Uptake of Immunoglobulin G
Frontiers in Animal Science, 2022 Colostrum is essential for the health and wellbeing of dairy cattle. This review provides insight into different means of augmenting or enhancing colostrum quality including colostrum feeding, dry cow management, prepartum cow diets, freezing ...

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).

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

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.
