the relationship between serum immunoglobuling levels and some diseased in newly born buffalo calves

Abstract: Total serum immunogloulins, IgG,IgM and IgA leves were estimated in 60 newly born buffalo calves at 2nd day of age,belonged to a private dairy farm in Sharkia govemorate. The relation between tese leves and the subsequent occurrence of some disease conditions in the first two months of life was observed. All calves received colostrum by natural suckling and their health were monitored from birth to 60 days ages. The total serum immunoglobulins concentratrations was measured by sodium sulphite precipitation test (S.S.P.T.), while, the serum level of immunoglobulin classes (IgG, IgM and IgA) was measured by a single radial immunodiffusion test (S.R.I) The results revealed that 14 of examined calves (23.33%) suffered from undifferentiated diarrhea, 9 suffered from pneumonia (15%). while 37 0f calves (^1.66% ) remained healthy. Apositive , there is an association between failure of passive transfer of colostral immunoglobulins in calves and suscepthtibility to neonatal diseases. this failure, which is refected by low serum immunoglobulins leves, is one o the most important influencing factors in mortality of newly born calves .
