Cinética dos anticorpos de origem colostral contra a toxina épsilon de Clostridium perfringens tipo D em cordeiros

Abstract: Enterotoxemia, uma das mais importantes enfermidades que acomete os pequenos ruminantes domésticos, é causada principalmente pela toxina épsilon de Clostridium perfringens tipo D. O presente estudo avaliou a cinética de anticorpos colostrais antitoxina épsilon em cordeiros nascidos de ovelhas submetidas a dois diferentes tipos de manejo sanitário. Um grupo de ovelhas prenhes (n=6) foi vacinado com uma dose única de vacina comercial polivalente contra clostridioses contendo toxóide épsilon na sua formulação cer… Show more

“…Among the epidemiological aspects of type D sheep enterotoxaemia, even being a disease that affects animals of all ages, young lambs under good corporal conditions and in their first weeks of age, are particularly the most susceptible (Kriek et al 1994). Thereby, a strategy using immunization by colostrum must be considered in control programs, as demonstrated by Costa et al (2012), that vaccinated pregnant ewes 30 days before parturition, allowing the transfer of colostral antibodies specific enough to guarantee the immunity considered protective (0.15 IU/ml) of the newborn lamb against enterotoxaemia until its entry into the feedlot, with 60 days of age. According to Radostits et al (2002), the recommended age for receiving the first vaccine dose against this disease is 4 weeks old, with booster at 10 weeks of age.…”
