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.

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 ...

Evaluation of Brix Refractometry for the Estimation of Colostrum Quality in Jennies

Journal of Equine Veterinary Science, 2020
Donkey placenta does not allow the passage of immunoglobulins; thus, foals are born hypogammaglobulinemic and an adequate intake of high-quality colostrum in the first 24 hours of life is crucial for the surviving. The study aims to assess the relation between colostrum immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentration evaluated by the single radial immunodiffusion

Validation of a stall‐side immunoglobulin assay for use in equine reproductive management

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Equine foals receive IgG from mare colostrum through passive transfer. Failure of passive transfer (FPT) is a significant risk to the foal's life, leaving them vulnerable to infection and sepsis. Radial Immunodiffusion (RID) and immunoturbidimetric assays quantify IgG present in a foal sample but require a laboratory to complete ...

Importance of Colostrum for Calf Health and development: A brief review

Jurnal Sain Peternakan Indonesia, 2022
Colostrum is a form of milk produced by the mammary glands at the end of pregnancy. Passive antibody intake through the Colostrum during the early hours of birth is very important for calf survival.

Preliminary quality assessment of bovine colostrum

Italian Journal of Food Safety, 2013
Data on bovine colostrum quality are scarce or absent, although Commission Regulations No 1662/2006 and No 1663/2006 include colostrum in the context of chapters on milk. Thus the aim of the present work is to study some physical, chemical, hygiene and safety quality parameters of bovine colostrum samples collected from Sicily and Calabria dairy herds.

Antibody kinetics against tetanus toxoid before and after primary vaccination of foals

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Vaccination recommendations for foals against Clostridium tetani vary. Available studies assessing foal immune responses, maternal antibody interference, or individual variation often used small foal numbers. Objectives To quantify antibody responses after tetanus vaccination in foals and explore associations with passively ...

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.

Adaptive Immunity in Marsupials

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
Comparison of the marsupial and eutherian adaptive immune systems. ABSTRACT Marsupials diverged from eutherian mammals 125–160 million years ago. Although evolutionarily distinct, both groups of mammals can produce complex adaptive immune responses to antigens with several key differences.

ASSESSMENT OF THE QUALITY AND YIELD OF COW COLOSTRUM OBTAINED IN THE FIRST 24 HOURS AFTER CALVING [PDF]

Animal Science and Genetics
The aim of the study was to assess the quality of colostrum of Polish Holstein-Friesian cows on the first day after calving, by measuring the refractive index on the Brix scale with an electronic refractometer, as well as the colostrum yield.
