Bu çalışmanın amacı, sütten kesim dönemi kuzularda pasif bağışıklık transferi ile bazı hastalıklar (ishal, pnömoni, fatigue anoreksi sendromu-FAS) ve büyüme performansı [vücut ağırlığı (BW) ve ortalama günlük ağılık artışı (ADG)] arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmaktır. Toplam olarak 347 kuzudan kolostrum alınımından ya da doğumdan sonra 24±1 saat kan örnekleri toplanmış ve her bir kuzu için serum IgG konsantrasyonu ticari bir ELISA kiti kullanılarak ölçülmüştür. Kuzular doğumdan hemen sonra (kolostrum alımından önce) tartılmış ve 28. günde (neonatal dönemin sonunda) ve 84. günde (sütten kesim yaşı) tekrar tartılmıştır. Kuzuların ADG'si yaşamın 0 ila 28. günleri arasında, yaşamın 29 ila 84. günleri arasında ve yaşamın 0 ila 84. günleri arasında hesaplanmıştır. Neonatal dönemde ishalli ve FAS tanılı ve postneonatal dönemde pnömonili kuzuların büyüme performansı (BW ve ADG) aynı dönemdeki sağlıklı kuzulara göre önemli ölçüde düşük bulundu (P<0.05). Doğumdan sonraki 24. saatte serum IgG konsantrasyonu (SIgGC-24) <600 mg/dL ve <1000 mg/ml olan kuzuların canlı ağırlıkları 28. ve 84. günlerde SIgGC-24 >600 mg/dL ve >1000 mg/ml olan kuzulardan önemli ölçüde daha düşüktü (P <0.001). Benzer şekilde, SIgGC-24 <600 mg/dL ve <1000 mg/ml olan kuzu-ların günlük canlı ağırlık artışının 0-28, 29-84 ve 0-84 yaş günlerinde SIgGC-24 >600 mg/dL ve >1000 mg/ml olan kuzulardan önemli ölçüde daha düşüktü (P<0.001). Sonuç olarak, bulgularımız düşük serum IgG konsantrasyonunu ile birlikte pnömoni, ishal ve FAS bulunması kuzularda sütten kesim öncesi büyüme performansını azaltmaktadır.

Relationship Between Growth Performance, Passive Immunity and Health In Preweaned Lambs

Öz

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 24±1 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 (P<0.05). BW of lambs with serum IgG concentration at 24th hour after the birth (SIgGC-24)<600 mg/dL and <1000 mg/ml was significantly lower on days 28 and 84 than that of lambs with SIgGC-24 >600 mg/dL and >1000 mg/ml (P<0.001). Simi-larly, the ADG of lambs with SIgGC-24 <600 mg/dL and <1000 mg/ml was significantly lower on days from 0-28, 29-84 and 0-84 of age than those of lambs with SIgGC-24 >600 mg/dL and >1000 mg/ml (P<0.001). 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.
