Changes in serum IgG and total protein concentrations in calves fed differing amounts of colostrum replacer
Published:March 15, 2018
Summary
Introduction Acquisition of passive immunity is essential to calf health and growth. Provision of IgG using colostrum replacer (CR) products is increasingly common in the industry, but few data are available to document half-life of CR-derived IgG, particularly when varying amounts of CR are fed. Our objective was to evaluate concentrations of serum IgG in calves fed varying amounts of CR for ...
