“…Thus, this food can be used to replace colostrum as a source of antibodies. Similar results were reported in studies from Carlson and Müller () when assessing the content of immunoglobulins between the refrigerated stored colostrum and the naturally acidified colostrum. Foley et al .…”

Colostrum silage is an anaerobic fermentation methodology of excess farm colostrum used to conserve and provide as milk replacement for calves. The present study aimed to evaluate the levels of immunoglobulins present in bovine colostrum silage and its absorption by newborn calves. The concentration of immunoglobulins was determined in fresh colostrum and colostrum silage stored for 12 months. The absorption of immunoglobulins by calves was assessed immediately after birth and 24 h after colostrum silage intake. The immunoglobulin levels were evaluated by ELISA. The results highlighted that colostrum silage kept similar levels of immunoglobulins as the ones in colostrum in natura, and can be transferred to newborn calves with similar amounts to calves fed with colostrum in natura. It is concluded that colostrum silage keeps viable immunoglobulins, and is able to transfer passive immunity to newborn calves.

“…On occasions, reduction in incidence of diarrhea has been reported for calves given fermented colostrum in comparison with those given whole milk (137) or a milk substitute (30). On the other hand, a higher incidence of diarrhea has been reported when the colostrum was treated with .05% formaldehyde (24). However, even .1% formaldehyde was without ill-effect if the preserved colostrum was not fed until 7 days had elapsed (73).…”

Enteric and respiratory disorders are the main hazards to successful calf rearing. The many interrelated factors in the etiology of these disorders are reviewed, and an attempt has been to classify the factors into those of a microbiological, immunological, nutritional, genetic, physical, or psychological nature. No one would dispute that enteric and respiratory disorders are the two main hazards to calf health, but many would argue about the relative importance of specific pathogens and other predisposing factors in the etiology of these disorders.

“…Cummins et al (2016a) reported that 90% of Irish dairy producers store colostrum, while colostrum is routinely stored on 89% of large dairy farms in North America. Colostrum has traditionally been stored in a freezer to prevent alterations to its composition, such as IgG concentration and bacterial level (Carlson and Muller, 1977;Schipper et al, 1981). However, other immune properties can be affected, including leukocytes (Donovan et al, 2007), which are also important in building an immune response in a calf to fight infection (Reidel-Caspari, 2001).…”

The objective of the present study was to compare serum IgG concentration, weight gain, and health characteristics in Irish spring-born dairy calves fed colostrum stored using a range of conditions. Immediately after birth, 75 dairy heifer calves were assigned to 1 of 5 experimental colostrum treatments: (1) fresh pasteurized colostrum, fed immediately after pasteurization; (2) fresh colostrum, fed immediately after collection but not pasteurized; (3) colostrum stored unpasteurized at 4°C in a temperature-controlled unit for 2d before being fed to calves; (4) colostrum stored unpasteurized at 13°C in a temperature-controlled unit for 2d before being fed to calves; and (5) colostrum stored unpasteurized at 22°C in a temperature-controlled unit for 2d before being fed to calves. All colostrum had IgG concentrations >50g/L and was fed to calves promptly after birth. Blood samples were obtained from calves via the jugular vein at 0h (before colostrum feeding) and at 24h of age to determine the rate of passive transfer of IgG; individual calf live-weights were recorded to monitor weight gain (kg/d) from birth to weaning. Colostrum stored in warmer conditions (i.e., 22°C) had >42 times more bacteria present and a pH that was 0.85 units lower and resulted in a serum IgG concentration that was almost 2 times lower compared with colostrum that was pasteurized, untreated, or stored at 4°C for 2d. Colostrum stored at 4°C for 2d had more bacteria present than pasteurized and fresh colostrum but did not result in reduced calf serum IgG concentrations. Average daily weight gain from birth to weaning did not differ among treatments. Even if colostrum has sufficient IgG (>50g/L) but cannot be fed to calves when freshly collected, storage at ≤4°C for 2d is advisable to ensure adequate passive transfer when it is consumed by the calf.
