DOI: 10.3168/jds.2020-19020
Abstract: Newborn ungulates depend on the timely supply of colostrum containing sufficient immunoglobulins to obtain passive immunity against disease. Brix refractometry enables a rapid on-farm estimation of colostrum quality and has been intensively studied in bovines.… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/biology12040626
Abstract: Simple Summary Newborn goat kids need to consume high-quality colostrum in the first hours after birth to ensure adequate transfer of passive immunity, through the absorption of immunoglobulins. However, some goats fail to produce high-quality… read more here.
