“…However, Derbakova et al . [ 21 ] did not record a relationship between the level of IgG in bovine colostrum and the likelihood of Cryptosporidium spp. infection in calves and suggested that innate and adaptive immunity play more significant roles in immune responses to Cryptosporidium species than mother passive transfers of immunity to the offspring.…”

Background and Aim: Colostrum composition and importance for newborn organisms were repeatedly studied. However, the interest in transitional milk usefulness is weak and recommendations concerning transition milk intake are not developed. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether transition milk intake after colostrum consumption affects the chances of calf infection with Cryptosporidium spp. Materials and Methods: We collected data for Cryptosporidium spp. infection from calves (n=425) divided into three groups: The first group – supervised colostrum and transition milk intake; the second group – supervised colostrum and whole milk intake; and the third group – not supervised colostrum and whole milk intake. To detect oocysts of Cryptosporidium spp. in feces, the flotation method was used, and slides were stained using the modified Ziehl-Neelsen method. Generalized linear mixed modeling was conducted to determine whether the explanatory variable – the management of colostrum and transition milk feeding with three categories (three research groups) – was related to the probability of calves incurring infection with Cryptosporidium spp. Results: In the first group, 26.1% of calves were positive for the presence of Cryptosporidium spp. oocysts, in the second – 37.2%, and in the third – 44.1%. Statistical data analysis showed that calves who did not receive transition milk after colostrum consumption had increased chances of having Cryptosporidium spp. (by 1.90-2.47 times on average). The main results showed that the management of colostrum and transition milk feeding is related to Cryptosporidium spp. infection, indicating that both colostrum and transitional milk play a significant role in controlling pathogenic infections. Conclusion: The most effective management of colostrum and transition milk feeding against Cryptosporidium spp. infection is the timely intake of an adequate amount of colostrum followed by transitional milk consumption for at least 2 weeks before weaning from the dam.

“…Структура плаценти корів відокремлює кров матері й плоду, що, у свою чергу, перешкоджає передачі Ig, які відповідають за імунний захист організму. У зв'язку з цим телята народжуються без Ig, які вони можуть отримати лише шляхом пасивного перенесення з молозива (McGrath et al, 2016;Masiuk et al, 2019;Derbakova et al, 2020), тому, вочевидь, заходи, спрямовані на унормування молозивного періоду, вкрай важливі для здоров'я нащадків.…”

The unprofitableness in the industry of beef cattle husbandry is associated with the death of newborn calves during the colostral period (calves have insufficient immune protection, which can be obtained only with timely use of colostrum) due to imperfection in the housing technology or its individual elements. We have been conducted two experiments: the first one -on calves and cows of the second calving, and the second -on calves and cows of the third calving and older. At revealing of a problematic cow-calf pair (cow's refusal of the calf or calf's refusal to consume colostrum) in 2017 and 2018, a new technological housing element was introduced in the experimental groups of animals -transfer of the problematic cow-calf pair to a separate correction section, for common housing to stimulate cow's maternal instincts or the calf's eating behavior. According to the data of the first part of our experiment, it was found that the number of problem calves received from cows of the second calving in first group was 2 calves, in second and third group -1 calf each, respectively. The live weight of problem calves at birth between the three groups was not significant. According to this indicator, calves from the first group had lower live weight by 1.5 kg compared to animals from the second group and by 1 kg compared to animals from the third group. The problem calves, which were transferred together with the cows to separate correction sections, reached the highest live weight when weaned, compared with animals kept under traditional farming technology, the preference was 63.3 kg and 64.8 kg, respectively. In general, in the experimental group, which included the problem calves, the calves' live weight at weaning showed a significant difference between animals of first and third groups which amounted to 6.2 kg (P > 0.95). According to data from the second part of the experiment, which was carried out on cows of third calving and older cows with offsprings, three problem calves were identified in each group. With a slight difference in the live weight of problem calves at birth, the advantage in this indicator during weaning was in animals of the second and third groups, which were transferred to separate correction sections, which amounted to 62.0 kg and 63.5 kg. Overall, a significant difference of 3.1 kg (P > 0.95) was revealed in weight during the weaning between first and third groups of calves. It was found that at transference of problem "cow-calf" pair into a separate correction section the survival rate of problem calves increased from 33-50 % to 67-100 %. Thus, by transference of problem cow-calf pairs into separate correction sections during the colostral period with year-round free-range housing, it is possible to increase the survival rate of problem calves and ensure their full-value growth.

“…The physicochemical, biological, and immunologic features of immunoglobulins are categorized into classes (Puppel et al, 2019). The Ig classes include IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM; nevertheless, most of them are only weakly present in colostrum and circulating immunoglobulins, particularly immunoglobulin G (IgG), play an important role in overall host defence against environmental antigens (Derbakova et al, 2020). Factors affecting first colostrum IgG content that affect colostrum quality include the time between calving and milking, the dam's age, the length of the dry period, the metabolic status of the dam and the calving season (Zwierzchowski et al, 2020).…”

Colostrum gives the newborn calf maternal antibodies that help it fight disease. A calf that does not receive colostrum has a higher risk of illness until it develops antibodies of its own at around 6 weeks of age. This study aims to evaluate the immunity background of Karadi calves, measuring physiological responses to different qualities of colostrum and testing Karadi calves for survival in the herd. Twelve females local Karadi calves (0-day olds) were divided into two treatments with two levels for each. Using low and high colostrum quality before 6 hours and after 6 hours from parturition. Regarding calf body weight, withers height, immunoglobulin G concentration, and dry matter intake, there is no significant difference between low- and high-quality colostrum feed. However, our results show that calf body weight, withers height, and respiration rate were higher (P < 0.01) when colostrum was fed six hours after birth compared to those fed six hours after birth. However, there is no significant difference in the rectal temperature of the calf fed before six hours and six hours after birth. Results show that the total white blood cells, lymphocyte, neutrophil, eosinophil, and basophil numbers were unaffected by treatment, time and the interaction between treatment and time. Monocyte numbers have a tendency toward significant by treatment. Total plasma protein was not affected by treatment and time, but it tends significant treatment over time.
