Abstract

Objective: In the study, the changes in the immunoglobulin levels of the Saanen
goats fed with colostrum were determined during the three days after birth.

Material and Methods: The animal material of the research consists of 11 goats and 11 of
their kids. Colostrum samples were taken from the goats in three repetitions
(at birth, at 24th and 48th hours after birth). Changes in IgA, IgM, and IgG
levels were examined individually in 33 (11 x 3) colostrum samples taken at
birth and 24th and 48th hours after birth.

Results: IgA, IgM and IgG levels at birth and 24 and 48 hours after birth for
Saanen goats were 0.11-1.98-1.88 mg/ml, 0.28-0.95-14.01 mg/ml and
0.25-0.96-13.53 mg/ml, respectively. The IgA, IgM, IgG levels of kids at birth,
24, and 48 hours after birth were 0.76-1.11-19.22 mg/ml, 0.58-1.02-18.42 mg/ml
and 0.53-1.24-21.60 mg/ml, respectively. The effect of birth type and gender
and parity on IgA, IgM, and IgG levels were not significant, while the effect
of the time-dependent change was linearly and quadratically significant (P
<0.01).

Conclusion: In the colostrum secreted in the postpartum period in goats, it is
necessary for the immune substances to be taken as soon as possible since the
rate of passage of the immune substances transferred through the intestinal
epithelium by this way decreases in time.

A Study on the Change in Postpartum Immunoglobulins of Goats and Kids

Abstract

Amaç: Bu araştırmada;
doğumu izleyen üç gün boyunca kolostrumla beslenen Saanen oğlaklarında
kolostrumda bulunan bağışıklık maddelerinin değişimi belirlenmiştir.

Materyal ve Metot:
Araştırmanın hayvan materyalini; 11 baş saf Saanen keçisi ile bunlardan doğan
11 baş oğlak olmak üzere toplam 22 baş hayvan oluşturmaktadır. Her keçiden
toplam 3 kez (doğumda ve bunu izleyen saatlerde 24. ve 48. saatte) kolostrum
örneği alınmıştır. Çalışmada, doğum, 24. ve 48. saatte alınan toplam 33 (11 x 3
) ağız sütü (kolostrum) örneğinde IgA, IgM, IgG düzeylerinin değişimleri
bireysel olarak incelenmiştir.

Bulgular: Saanen
keçilerinde IgA, IgM, IgG düzeyleri doğumda; 0.11-1.98-1.88mg/ml, 24 saat sonra
0.28-0.95-14.01 mg/ml ve 48 saat sonra 0.25-0.96-13.53 mg/ml değerleri arasında
değişmiştir. IgA, IgM, IgG nin oğlak kanlarında doğum, 24 ve 48. saatlerdeki
düzeyleri sırasıyla; 0.76-1.11-19.22 mg/ml, 0.58-1.02-18.42 mg/ml ve
0.53-1.24-21.60 mg/ml değerleri arasında değişmiştir. IgA, IgM, IgG düzeyleri
üzerinde oğlak doğum tipi, ve cinsiyeti ile laktasyon sırasının etkisi önemsiz,
zamana bağlı olarak değişimin etkisi gerek lineer gerekse kuadratik olarak
önemli bulunmuştur (P<0.01).

Sonuç: Keçilerde doğum sonrası dönemde salgılanan
kolostrumda yavruya bu yolla aktarılan bağışıklık maddelerinin bağırsak epitel
dokudan geçiş hızı azaldığı için oğlakların bağışıklık maddelerinin en kısa
sürede alması sağlanmalıdır.
