Abstract:

 This study was designed to investigate associations between transfer of passive immunity, selected illness-es diarrhoea, pneumonia, and fatigue anorexia syndrome-FAS and growth performance body weight BW and aver-age daily gain ADG in preweaned lambs. A total of 347 lambs were blood sampled at 241 h of age after birth and the serum IgG concentration for each lamb was measured after colostrum intake using a commercial ELISA kit. Lambs were weighed on a scale immediately after birth before colostrum intake and reweighed on day 28 end of neonatal period and day 84 age of weaning. Lambs ADG was calculated from 0 to 28 d of life, from 29 to 84d of life, and from 0 to 84 d of life. Growth performance BW and ADG of lambs with diarrhoea and FAS in the neonatal period and with pneumonia in the postneonatal period was significantly lower than that of healthy lambs of the same period P0.05. BW of lambs with serum IgG concentration at 24th hour after the birth SIgGC-24600 mgdL and 1000 mgml was significantly lower on days 28 and 84 than that of lambs with SIgGC-24 600 mgdL and 1000 mgml P0.001. Simi-larly, the ADG of lambs with SIgGC-24 600 mgdL and 1000 mgml was significantly lower on days from 0-28, 29-84 and 0-84 of age than those of lambs with SIgGC-24 600 mgdL and 1000 mgml P0.001. In conclusion, our find-ings show that low serum IgG concentration in lambs, as well as the presence of pneumonia, diarrhea and FAS, reduc-es growth performance in pre-weaning lambs.

 Bu çalışmanın amacı, sutten kesim dönemi kuzularda pasif bağışıklık transferi ile bazı hastalıklar ishal, pnömoni, fatigue anoreksi sendromu-FAS ve buyume performansı vucut ağırlığı BW ve ortalama gunluk ağılık artışı ADG arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmaktır. Toplam olarak 347 kuzudan kolostrum alınımından ya da doğumdan sonra 241 saat kan örnekleri toplanmış ve her bir kuzu için serum IgG konsantrasyonu ticari bir ELISA kiti kullanılarak ölçulmuştur. Kuzular doğumdan hemen sonra kolostrum alımından önce tartılmış ve 28. gunde neonatal dönemin sonunda ve 84. gunde sutten kesim yaşı tekrar tartılmıştır. Kuzuların ADGsi yaşamın 0 ila 28. gunleri arasında, yaşamın 29 ila 84. gunleri arasında ve yaşamın 0 ila 84. gunleri arasında hesaplanmıştır. Neonatal dönemde ishalli ve FAS tanılı ve postneonatal dönemde pnömonili kuzuların buyume performansı BW ve ADG aynı dönemdeki sağlıklı kuzulara göre önemli ölçude duşuk bulundu P0.05. Doğumdan sonraki 24. saatte serum IgG konsantrasyonu SIgGC-24 600 mgdL ve 1000 mgml olan kuzuların canlı ağırlıkları 28. ve 84. gunlerde SIgGC-24 600 mgdL ve 1000 mgml olan kuzulardan önemli ölçude daha duşuktu P 0.001. Benzer şekilde, SIgGC-24 600 mgdL ve 1000 mgml olan kuzu-ların gunluk canlı ağırlık artışının 0-28, 29-84 ve 0-84 yaş gunlerinde SIgGC-24 600 mgdL ve 1000 mgml olan kuzulardan önemli ölçude daha duşuktu P0.001. Sonuç olarak, bulgularımız duşuk serum IgG konsantrasyonunu ile birlikte pnömoni, ishal ve FAS bulunması kuzularda sutten kesim öncesi buyume performansını azaltmaktadır.
