Özet
This study was designed to evaluate the potential of lactoferrin (Lf) as predictor of passive immunity by establishing correlation between serum Lf and IgG concentration determined by ELISA in healthy lambs before and after colostrum intake at various days of neonatal period, to determine the presumptive effect of serum Lf along with serum IgG levels on lamb health through comparison of values measured for healthy and diseased lambs and to evaluate the impact of colostral Lf concentrations on passive immunity and lamb health. For this purpose, blood samples were obtained from the fifty healthy lambs at birth and 1, 2, 4, 7, 14 and 28 days after birth. Additionally first day blood samples were also collected from 286 lambs. Health status of all lambs (n = 336) was monitored from birth to 12 weeks of life. Colostrum samples were obtained within 0–4 h of parturition from 193 the ewes related to the lambs tested in …
