“…Enhanced colostrum supply after birth allowed calves to maintain high plasma IgG concentrations for a longer time, as shown in other studies (Stott and Fellah, 1983;Morin et al, 1997;Hammon and Blum, 1998;Kü hne et al, 2000). A high immunoglobulin status corresponded well with improved calf health (White and Andrews, 1986). Plasma total protein concentrations mirrored IgG concentrations, but higher total protein concentrations on d 7 in GrCH than in GrCL were also the result of higher plasma albumin concentrations.…”

Colostrum intake is important for health and postnatal development of neonatal calves. We studied the effects of enhanced first colostrum feeding on growth, health status, and metabolic and endocrine traits in calves during their 1st wk of life. Calves of group CL (GrCL; n = 7) were fed colostrum of milkings 1 to 6 twice daily during the first 3 d of life, followed by milk replacer (MR) up to d 7. Calves of group CH (GrCH; n = 7) were fed colostrum of the first milking during the first 3 d and then colostrum (of the first milking) twice daily, which on d 4, 5, 6, and 7 was diluted with 25, 50, 75, and 75 parts of MR, respectively. Pre- and postprandial blood samples were taken on d 1, 2, 3, and 7 for the determination of various metabolic and endocrine traits, and on d 5 intestinal absorption capacity was measured using the xylose absorption test. Rectal temperatures and fecal scores were higher (P < .05) in GrCH than in GrCL. Plasma concentrations of total protein and albumin were higher (P < .05) on d 7, IgG on d 2 and 3, and urea on d 2, 3, and 7 in GrCH than in GrCL. Plasma concentrations of triglycerides were higher (P < .05) on d 2 and of phospholipids and cholesterol were higher (P < .01) on d 7 in GrCH than in GrCL. Plasma insulin and glucagon concentrations were higher (P < .05) in GrCH than in GrCL, whereas prolactin and growth hormone concentrations were higher (P < .05) in GrCL than in GrCH. Enhanced colostrum intake had no effects on xylose absorption on d 5. Higher plasma protein, urea, and lipid concentrations in GrCH partly mirrored higher protein and fat intake but additionally pointed to higher protein synthesis and lipid turnover.

“…However, colostrum feeding of dairy calves is often insufficient (Roy, 1980;White and Andrews, 1986). Amounts and time point of colostrum intake greatly affect metabolic and endocrine traits in neonatal calves raised in conventional farm systems with two daily feedings (Blum et al, 1997;Blum, 1998, 1999).…”

“…However, such comparisons have limited value due to differences in experimental design between studies, different populations, environmental and management conditions. This large variability has also been noted by HANCOCK (1985) who studied FPT in 19 herds, and by WHITE & ANDREWS (1986) who analyzed different studies from the United States and United Kingdom.…”

“…V). According to White and Andrews [48], calves without adequate circulatory IgG are four times more likely to die and twice as likely to become ill as compared to calves with adequate circulatory Ig. This seems to be confirmed for lambs, since in the present study, Ig levels were 7 and 2.5 times lower in lambs that had died than in those that had survived in Pak-Karakul and Thalli lambs, respectively (Tab.…”

-This study was carried out to investigate lamb mortality in 528 Pak-Karakul and 423 Thalli in Pakistan during [1998][1999]. Mortality was 9 and 12% in the lambs of the two breeds, respectively. In Pak-Karakul lambs, pneumonia rendered the highest morbidity and mortality and all mortalities recorded were in the first week, whereas in Thalli lambs diarrhoea was at the peak, with 82 and 18% mortalities in the first and second week of life respectively. Birth weight of neonates that died was lower (P < 0.05) than that of the lambs that had survived. The correlation revealed a positive and significant (P = 0.000) relationship between birth weights of Pak-Karakul lambs and serum Ig, total proteins and globulin concentration. In Thalli lambs such a relationship was found in serum Ig and globulin concentration. Parity of ewes and sex of lambs in both breeds did not affect mortality rates. Lambs with Ig levels less than 20 zinc sulphate turbidity (ZST) units died while those with more than 20 ZST-units survived. Dams that lost their lambs had significantly (P < 0.05) lower values of colostral Ig than those with live neonates. Serum Ig concentration in survived neonates of both breeds had significant (P = 0.000) and positive correlation with colostral Ig of their dams. lamb mortality / Pak-Karakul and Thalli sheep / risk factors / Pakistan Résumé -Facteurs de risque de la mortalité des agneaux au Pakistan. Cette étude a été réalisée pour étudier la mortalité des agneaux de races Pak-Karakul (n = 528) et Thalli (n = 423) au Pakistan au cours des années 1998 et 1999. La mortalité était respectivement de 9 et 12 % pour les deux races. Pour les agneaux Pak-Karakul, la cause de morbidité la plus élevée a été la pneumonie et tous les cas de mortalité ont été enregistrés durant la première semaine de vie. Concernant les agneaux Thalli, la diarrhée a été à l'origine du plus grand nombre de décès, avec des mortalités de 82 et 18 % la première et la deuxième semaine de vie, respectivement. Le poids de naissance des nouveau-nés morts était inférieur (P < 0,05) à celui des agneaux qui ont survécu. La corrélation de Pearson a permis d'établir (P = 0,000) une relation positive et significative entre les poids à la naissance des agneaux Pak-Karakul et les immunoglobulines (Ig) du sérum, les protéines totales et la concentration en globulines. Chez les agneaux Thalli, une telle relation a été trouvée entre les Ig du sérum et la concentration en globulines. La parité des brebis et le sexe des agneaux dans les deux races n'ont Les brebis ayant perdu leurs agneaux ont eu de manière significative (P < 0,05) un colostrum plus pauvre en Ig que celles avec des nouveau-nés vivants. Pour les deux races, il existe une corrélation significative et positive (P = 0,000) entre la concentration sérologique des Ig chez les nouveau-nés qui ont survécu et la teneur en Ig du colostrum de leur mère.agneau / mortalité / Pak-Karakul / Thalli / facteurs de risque / Pakistan
