“…The low concentration of plasma total cholesterol observed in the calves at birth followed by a rapid increase during the first week of life is consistent with the previous report of Rauprich et al (2000). Undoubtedly the main reason for the demonstrated effect was the ingestion of rich in fat diet (colostrum and milk).…”

The present study was undertaken to determine blood plasma protein and lipid profile changes in healthy Polish Holstein-Fresian calves of Black-and-White variety. Blood was drawn immediately after birth, before first colostrum intake and at the 3 Subsequent four blood samples were collected at 24 hour intervals until the 7 th day of life. Plasma proteins within the isoelectric point ranging from 3.0 to 10.0 were separated using high resolution two-dimensional electrophoresis. Among the 74 protein spots detected and analyzed, 16 were significantly altered during the first week of life. Differentially expressed spots were excised from the gels and subjected to peptide mass fingerprinting using MALDI-TOF MS. In total, 12 spots were successfully identified, which correspond to three proteins, namely: apolipoprotein A-I, apolipoprotein A-IV and fibrinogen gamma-B chain. A gradual increase in plasma triglyceride, total cholesterol, HDL and LDL cholesterol values was shown during the first seven days of calves life. The lowest concentration of these indicators were observed at birth and was followed by a rapid increase during the first week of postnatal life. These changes appear to be related to the transition in energy sources, from a maternal nutrient supply comprising mainly carbohydrates and amino acids to a diet which was rich in fat -colostrum and milk. This was reflected by the intense up-regulation of plasma proteins related with lipid transport and lipoprotein metabolism during the first week of life.

“…A similar pattern of changes in plasma TG values in calves was described by Rauprich et al (2000). Chylomicrons and very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) are considered as the main transporters of TG in all animal species (Bauchart et al 1993).…”

“…From day 4 onwards calves were fed a milk replacer (MR) diluted with water (100 g/l water) up to day 7, mimicking usual husbandry conditions. The contents of colostrum from milkings 1 to 6 and the MR, together with the feeding plans have been published elsewhere (Blättler et al 2001, Rauprich et al 2000a. Calves were fed twice daily by bottle, beginning 2·7 0·7 h after birth.…”

Intestinal development is modified by age and nutrition, mediated in part by insulin-like growth factors (IGF-I, IGF-II) and insulin. We have investigated whether expression of IGF-I, IGF-II and insulin receptors (IGF-IR, IGF-IIR and IR; measured by real-time RT-PCR) and binding capacity (B max ) of IGF-IR, IGF-IIR and IR in the mucosa of the small and large intestine of neonatal calves are modified by age and different feeding regimes.In experiment 1, pre-term (GrP) and full-term (GrN) calves (after 277 and 290 days of pregnancy respectively) were killed immediately after birth before being fed; a further group of full-term calves were fed for 7 days and killed on day 8 of life (GrC 1-3 ). In experiment 2, full-term calves were killed on day 8 after being fed first-colostrum for 7 days (GrC max

“…the most common clinical forms of calf illnesses from insufficient colostral nutrition are septicaemia and diarrhoea. colostral intake in a calf leads to a change of a series of biochemical indicators (rauprich et al 2000;Pavlata et al 2004a) with whose monitoring colostral nutrition checks can be carried out.…”

Podhorský A., A. Pechová, r. dvořák, L. Pavlata: Metabolic Disorders in Dairy Calves in Postpartum Period. Acta vet. Brno 2007, 76: s45-s53. the aim of this study was, in terms of analysis of causes of disorders in calves on dairy farms, to evaluate occurrence of metabolic disorders in their postnatal period. In 23 agricultural farms (14 farms with the incidence of clinical forms of disease in calves during milk nutrition period -group d; 9 farms with no clinical disease -group h) clinical examination was performed, blood samples were collected and data concerning the provision of permanent day and night care for calves (Pdc) during delivery and in early postpartum period were collected. the samples were taken from 3 -5 calves in every farm (totally 97, h -38, d -59). Biochemical indicators that have some relations to the quality of colostral nutrition were determined (the concentrations of immunoglobulins -Ig, total protein -tP, albumin -A, globulins -G, vitamin e and A, the activity of gammaglutamyl transferase -GMt) and to the microelement metabolism (the activities of glutathione peroxidase -Gsh-Px for evaluation of selenium (se) status, the concentrations of copper (cu) and zinc (Zn)). While evaluating the entire group of examined calves, we found a high occurrence of metabolic disorders in calves connected with colostral nutrition and also high occurrence of microelement deficiencies. the decrease in tP was diagnosed in 80%, the decrease in G in 78%, the decrease in concentration of Ig in 78% and 74% of calves had higher A/G ratio. Insufficient intake of colostrum showed also lower activities of GMt in 76% of calves. hypovitaminosis e was diagnosed in 67% of calves and hypovitaminosis A in 19% of calves. Microelement deficiencies were found in 77% (cu), 39% (se), and 10% (Zn) of calves. While comparing the results for calves in groups h and d, in the group of calves from farms with no clinical disease (h) a significantly higher (p < 0.01) concentrations of albumin and vitamin e, as well as vitamin A (p < 0.05) were established. When comparing the farms with provided daylong care (Pdc+) and with no daylong care (Pdc-), in Pdc+ farms calves had a significantly higher (p < 0.01) concentration of tP and G, Gsh-Px activity, and also a significantly lower (p < 0.01) A/G ratio, which proves a higher-quality colostral nutrition. the results thus prove that the incidence of metabolic disorders in dairy calves in the Czech Republic represents a highly actual problem and that one of the significant factors that influence this condition is the insufficient care for and the related insufficient colostral nutrition of the calves. Cattle, colostral nutrition, biochemical indicators, trace elements, immunoglobulinsthe calf metabolism is affected by nutrition and thus also by the pregnant cow metabolism and in the early postnatal period mainly by means of colostrum intake. Colostrum is a source of nutrition to a calf in an optimum ratio with respect to the development of digestion and it is an important stimulator...
