Mammalian colostrum, known as “liquid gold,” is considered a valuable source of essential
nutrients, growth factors, probiotics, prebiotics, antibodies, and other bioactive compounds …

Bovine colostrum provides newborn calves with strong passive immunity, which will further
affect the immunity of their offspring. Compared with other commercial dairy products, bovine …

Simple Summary Calves rely on passive immunization with significant quantities of high-
quality colostrum within the first few hours of life. If immunoglobulin transfer after birth fails …

Background Colostral concentration of immunoglobulins (Ig) is crucial for the passive
transfer of antibodies from the cow to the new-born calf. Direct determination of Ig by the …

Immunoglobulin (Ig) G and natural antibody (NAb) IgM are passively transferred to the
neonatal calf through bovine colostrum. Maternal IgG provides pathogen-or vaccine-specific …

Simple Summary As calves are born with a naïve immune system, they depend on the
transfer of immunoglobulins via colostrum. If calves do not receive a sufficient supply of high …

The quality of bovine colostrum, primarily determined by IgG concentration, is essential for
the transfer of passive immunity and the development of the gastrointestinal tract in …

Immune competence is a key factor in the health and resilience of dairy ruminants. The aim
of this study was to study IgG concentration in serum shortly after birth and in colostrum of …

Interest in dairy cow health continues to grow as we better understand health's relationship
with production potential and animal welfare. Over the past decade, efforts have been made …

Background Calves rely on the passive transfer with immunoglobulins derived from
colostrum. Currently, there is a lack of knowledge on colostrum management practices and …
