Abstract

This study was designed to determine hepcidin, IgG,
Lactoferrin, IL-6 and iron levels in blood serum, colostrum, milk of healthy
cows and the healthy calves on different days of the neonatal period. The study
included 20 pregnant cows and 20 calves born to them. Blood samples were taken
from pregnant animals 15 days before the birth and immediately after the birth
for measurements. Blood samples were also obtained from the calves at birth
before colostrum intake and 1, 3, 7, 14 and 28 days after birth for
measurements. Colostrum samples were collected from mothers immediately after
birth and milk samples were taken postpartum on days 1, 3 and 7. After
parturition, serum hepcidin levels were higher than pregnant cows (P>0.05).
Hepcidin levels in colostrum were found significantly higher (P<0.05) when
compared with milk samples Following the intake of colostrum, serum hepcidin
level of calves of day 1 was similar to that of day 3 (P>0.05) but
significantly higher than the values of day 7, 14 and 28 days of life in calves
(P<0.001). Serum hepcidin levels similar pattern of changes to those of IgG,
Lf and IL-6 after colostrum intake in calves.

As a result; It was concluded that hepcidin may be an
important component in terms of calf health, given that it shows similar
changes with the immune parameters.
