Chapter 15 Possible role of colostral macromolecules transported from the intestinal lumen in neonatal animals

Nutritional physiology of neonatal calves*

“…Plasma urea concentrations increase if high amounts of colostrum are fed and plasma glucose concentrations increase with a delay of several days; additionally there is a rise of plasma lipids (triglycerides, phospholipids‐lipids, total cholesterol and essential fatty acids) and of β ‐carotene, vitamins A and E. On the other hand, there are no marked or immediate changes of minerals or plasma concentrations of creatinine, lactate and nitrate (Ronge and Blum, 1988; Blum et al., 1997,2001; Hadorn et al., 1997; Hadorn and Blum, 1997; Egli and Blum, 1998; Hammon and Blum, 1998b, 1999; Hammon et al., 2000, 2002; Kühne et al., 2000; Zanker et al., 2000a,b, 2001a,b; Nussbaum et al., 2002; Schiessler et al., 2002; Muri et al., 2005). Because many other substances, especially proteins and peptides (Michanek and Ventorp, 1989) besides IgG 1 are absorbed intestinally and appear in the circulation (as shown for Lf even in the cerebrospinal fluid of neonatal calves) (Harada and Takeuchi, 2002; Talkuder et al., 2003), functional effects can be expected.…”
