“…Serum GCT duration is a useful test to evaluate passive transfer status of calves, goat kids and foals. 15 The effect of GCT duration in detecting failure to acquire colostral immunoglobulin in neonatal foals was investigated by comparing and correlating results from the GCT with those obtained by equine IgG. The GCT duration was found to be a practical, inexpensive, semi-quantitative test with a high specificity and sensitivity at critical IgG levels.…”

“…gested through suckling and it was reported to be a useful parameter to assess the passive transfer status of calves and lambs. 15,17,18 We aimed to determine whether GGT activity assessment is a useful method for determining FPT and whether any correlation with other parameters was observed in neonatal foals. The result of our study was found to be parallel with a study by Braun et al 19 who reported that GGT was not a useful method for determining the FPT in foals and we detected that there was no correlation between GGT and other parameters.…”

The purpose of the present study was to detect the passive transfer status in healthy neonatal foals by comparing serum immunoglobulin G (sIgG) concentration, serum total protein (STP), glutaraldehyde coagulation test (GCT) duration and gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) activity . Fifteen neonatal foals (0-15 days old)' blood samples were collected before suckling (day 0), 12th hour (hr), 24th hr (1st day), 7th and 15th days. Serum IgG and STP levels significantly increased after the 12th hr. Conversely, serum GCT duration significantly decreased (p< 0.05) in neonatal foals after the 12th hr. The result of the present study was shown that measurements of sIgG, STP concentration and GCT duration are useful parameters to detect Failure of Passive Transfer (FPT) in neonatal foals. While GCT and STP provide a simple and inexpensive field test, serum GGT measurement is not a beneficial test to determine colostrum intake in newborn foals.

“…Perez et al, (2003) also claimed that serum IgG responses were strong during the early stage of primary H. contortus infection. Serum IgG has been reported to significantly increased during the neonatal period (Yalcin et al, 2010) and significantly dropped after weaning period in goats (Abdullah 2015).…”

Effects of dietary protein supplementation and plane of nutrition on the resistance and the resilience of Boer goats against artificial Haemonchus contortus infection under confined conditions

The effects of protein and/ or energy supplementation have been well studied in sheep. However, the few pen studies conducted with goats have failed to identify the role of protein supplementation and combinations with energy supplements against H. contortus infection.The general objective of this thesis was to investigate the effects of protein supplementation and plane of nutrition on resistance and resilience of Boer goats to infection from Haemonchus contortus. To achieve this the first experiment was designed to determine the appropriate amount of additional dietary protein (by having three groups of mature goats effectively fed three different levels of dietary protein) required by nematode free animals given a single relatively high dose of infective H. contortus larvae, to not become infected or at least develop resistance and/or resilience. It was assumed, based on the scientific literature, that a single relatively high dose of infective larvae would elicit strong pathogenic effects where additional dietary protein would give some assistance to the does with their defense to Haemonchus. As often is the case with research on goats the results were not unequivocally clear.Based on these results it was clear that a single dose of infective larvae was insufficient to become established and that these animals had already developed some level of immune response and thus it was assumed, again based on the scientific literature, to elicit strong pathogenic effects the animals tested needed to be younger (more naïve to Haemonchus) and with greater i.e. continued exposure to infective larvae as would happen under grazing conditions (trickle infection) such that different quantities of dietary protein would give these animals different responses to infection by Haemonchus. Again the responses by the goats only indicated subtle differences in immune responses against trickle H. contortus L3 infection. These results, again unexpected, indicated that level of intake (or more specifically plane of nutrition, prior to or during exposure) may be at least as important as protein supplementation in reasonably well fed animals; and or that the method of infection (oral drenching with L3 larvae) was possibly an unreliable method of infection requiring a more consistent method of infection. As such the third experiment involved nematode free mature animals (the only animals available at that time) fed on very different planes of nutrition preceding and during the experiment given relatively high trickle doses of H. contortus larvae via intra-ruminal infection.Overlaid across these experiments were constraints imposed on the amount of infective L3 larvae used to achieve infection; 100 L3 larvae per kg live-weight as a single dose was the maximum initially approved by the University Animal Ethics committee, as they had concerns about animals dying, they also stipulated the use of oral drenching for infective larvae. It was only after these methods failed ii to elicit a strong response was approval given by the Univers...

“…This finding is supported by Hoste et al (2008) in his review paper that there was good evidence from previous field studies to suggest that a better plan of nutrition might contribute to improved goat resilience to GIT nematode infection. Both IgG and IgA play an important role in the immune system of small ruminant including goats against H. contortus infection (Stear et al 1999;Yalcin et al 2010).…”

Development of immunity in boer goats naturally infected with the nematode haemonchus contortus

Haemonchus contortus (H. contortus) is a major gastrointestinal nematode that adversely affects goat production in tropical and subtropical countries leading to high economic losses due to lower growth rates, markedly reduced reproductive performance and mortality. Farmers can use different strategies including anthelmintic treatments, grazing management, vaccination, improved nutrition and selection of resistant animals in order to control or prevent their animals from infection by this nematode. This study was conducted to determine and describe the development of immunity in Boer goats kids based on their faecal egg count (FEC) and selected blood parameters in relation to specific antibody production against this nematode. Understanding the development of immunity could Many colleagues and organisations (listed below) have contributed to the success of this study, without their assistance this study will not be possible. My sincere appreciation goes to: • The Malaysia government through the Public Services Department of Malaysia for providing me the scholarship to further my study for a higher research degree. • Department of Veterinary Services, Malaysia for allowing me to go on study leave to undertake this degree.
