Influence of weaning strategy on behavior, humoral indicators of stress, growth, and carcass characteristics

Translational Animal Science, 5(1), txaa231.

By: S. Freeman n, M. Poore n, C. Pickworth n  & M. Alley*

author keywords: activity; behavior; carcass characteristics; hormones; weaning strategy
TL;DR: Based on ADG during the 42 d after weaning, it is recommend delaying weaning when available pasture and cow body condition support this strategy, and abrupt weaning under the conditions of this study, is less stressful than it is perceived to be. (via Semantic Scholar)

Passive Immunity Stimulated by Vaccination of Dry Cows with a Salmonella Bacterial Extract

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 28(5), 1602–1605.

By: G. Smith n , M. Alley n, D. Foster n , F. Smith* & B. Wileman

author keywords: Calves; Colostrum; IgG; Salmonella Newport; SRP
MeSH headings : Animals; Animals, Newborn / immunology; Cattle; Cattle Diseases / immunology; Cattle Diseases / microbiology; Cattle Diseases / prevention & control; Colostrum / immunology; Female; Immunity, Maternally-Acquired / immunology; Immunization, Passive / methods; Immunization, Passive / veterinary; Pregnancy; Salmonella / immunology; Salmonella Infections, Animal / immunology; Salmonella Infections, Animal / prevention & control; Salmonella Vaccines / immunology; Salmonella Vaccines / therapeutic use; Vaccination / methods; Vaccination / veterinary
TL;DR: The results indicate that the use of a commercially available Salmonella vaccine can stimulate antibodies that are passed on to the calf via colostral transfer and further studies need to be done to determine whether these antibodies will offer protection againstSalmonella challenge.

Short communication: Evaluation of serum immunoglobulin G concentrations using an automated turbidimetric immunoassay in dairy calves

JOURNAL OF DAIRY SCIENCE, 95(8), 4596–4599.

By: M. Alley n, D. Haines * & G. Smith n 

author keywords: failure of passive transfer; immunoglobulin G measurement; immunoassay; colostrum
MeSH headings : Animals; Animals, Newborn; Cattle / immunology; Colostrum / immunology; Female; Immunization, Passive / veterinary; Immunoassay / instrumentation; Immunoassay / standards; Immunoassay / veterinary; Immunoglobulin G / blood; Reproducibility of Results
TL;DR: The immunoassay technique using the portable analyzer represents a reliable method that can be run within 15 min and provide an accurate serum IgG level and could be easily implemented on a dairy farm to help monitor transfer of passive immunity. (via Semantic Scholar)

Short communication: Serum immunoglobulin G and total protein concentrations in dairy calves fed a colostrum-replacement product

JOURNAL OF DAIRY SCIENCE, 94(7), 3609–3612.

By: A. Fidler n, M. Alley n & G. Smith n
