Mammary Secretion of IgG in Sows
Tóm tắt
The IgG-concentration was determined in serum of 3 pregnant sows before and after partus and in colostrum of 7 sows 0–6 days post partum. The IgG-concentration decreased in serum before partus and increased after partus. The lowest value (1.5 g/100 ml) was observed at partus. The results indicate that IgG is transmitted from serum to colostrum. The concentration of IgG in colostrum was found to be 2.1–10.4 g/100 ml at partus. The concentration decreased very fast during the first day post partum. During 3–6 days post partum the IgG concentration was rather constant (0.3–0.5 g/100 ml). The importance of the results for the passive immunization of piglets is discussed.
