Risk Factors Associated with Colostrum Quality in Norwegian Dairy Cows [PDF]

Journal of Dairy Science, 2008
The objectives of the present study were to evaluate colostrum quality in Norwegian dairy cows based on IgG content, and to identify associations between possible risk factors and low colostral IgG. A longitudinal cross-sectional survey on calf health in Norway was performed between June 2004 and December 2006.

Demonstration of early functional compromise of bone marrow derived hematopoietic progenitor cells during bovine neonatal pancytopenia through in vitro culture of bone marrow biopsies [PDF]

, 2012
Background Bovine neonatal pancytopenia (BNP) is a syndrome characterised by thrombocytopenia associated with marked bone marrow destruction in calves, widely reported since 2007 in several European countries and since 2011 in New Zealand. The disease is

Impact of 2 Versus 1 Colostrum Meals on Failure of Transfer of Passive Immunity, Pre-Weaning Morbidity and Mortality, and Performance of Dairy Calves in a Large Dairy Herd

Animals, 2021
Failure of transfer of passive immunity (FTPI) due to inadequate ingestion of colostral immunoglobulins by calves is associated with increased mortality and morbidity risks.

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.

Setting up mother–infant pair lactation studies with biobanking for research according to regulatory requirements

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Within the ConcePTION project we set out to design two mother–infant pair studies collecting breast milk and plasma from the mother and plasma from the infant (for metformin and prednisolone) in order to demonstrate the premises and conditions for investigating potential drug transfer in association with breastfeeding.
