Yavru ölümlerinin en aza indirilmesi, hayvancılıkta başarının önemli unsurlarından birisini oluşturur. Buzağılama ve sütten kesme aşaması arasında geçen süre hayvanın yaşamında kritik bir süreçtir. Buzağılarda sağlık sorunlarının azaltılması yönünde kullanılan önemli bir araç da kolostrumla beslemedir. Kolostrumun enerji, protein ve vitamin (özellikle A, D, E ve B12) içeriği yüksektir. Daha da önemlisi kolostrum enfeksiyonlar ile savaşmak için gerekli pasif bağışıklık öğelerinden immunglobulinlerin buzağılara aktarılması yönü ile vazgeçilmezdir. Bu çalışma, doğum sonrası kulübelere alınmış ve emzikli kovalar aracılığı ile kolostrum almış yenidoğan Holştayn buzağılarda Ig G düzeyleri ile rutin klinik biyokimya parametreleri arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Bu amaçla 79 baş buzağından doğumu izleyen 24–48 saat içerisinde kan örnekleri alınarak serumları çıkartılmıştır. Buzağıların pasif transfer düzeylerinin gösterilmesi için Ig G düzeyleri ELISA ile belirlenmiştir. Ig G düzeylerine göre buzağılar üç gruba ayrılmıştır (yetersiz n=13, kısmi n=14, ve normal pasif transfer n=52). Serum örneklerinde ALT, AST, GGT, ALP, LDH aktiviteleri ve BUN, kreatinin, albumin, toplam protein, toplam bilirubin, trigliserid, kolesterol ve glikoz düzeyleri ölçülmüştür. Kolostrum ile normal pasif transfer sağlayan buzağılarda serum GGT aktivitesi, toplam protein ve üre düzeyleri diğer pasif transfer gruplarına göre artış göstermiş ve artış istatistik yönden önemli bulunmuştur (p≤0.05). İncelenen diğer parametrelere ilişkin sonuçlarda pasif transfer grupları arasında istatistik olarak önemli farklılıklar gözlenmemiştir (p≥0.05). Sonuç olarak serum GGT düzeyinin buzağılarda pasif transfer durumunu belirlemede iyi bir kriter olabileceği, fakat toplam protein ve üre düzeylerinin tek başına olmasa da GGT düzeyi ile birlikte değerlendirilmeye alındığı taktirde faydalı olabileceği kanısına varılmıştır

The minimisation of neonatal mortality is critical for the success of an animal management programme. The period between calving and weaning is the most crucial period in the animal's life. A major management tool that could be used to reduce health problems in calves is feeding with colostrum. Colostrum is rich in energy, protein and vitamins (especially vitamins A, D, E and B12). Most importantly, colostrum is essential for newborns, in that it contains high levels of immunoglobulins, which transfer passive immunity to the calf, and thereby, enable it to fight with infections. The aim of the present study was to determine the correlation between serum Ig G levels and routine biochemical parameters in neonatal Holstein calves given colostrum with teat buckets separated soon after calving. For this purpose, serum was extracted from blood samples collected from 79 calves within 24–48 hours of calving. The passive transfer status of the calves was determined by measuring the Ig G content of serum by ELISA. Based on their serum Ig G levels, the calves were divided into 3 groups (insufficient n=13; partial n=14; and normal passive transfer n=52). Serum ALT, AST, GGT, ALP, LDH activities and serum BUN, creatinine, albumin, total protein, total bilirubin, triglyceride, cholesterol, and glucose levels were analysed. A statistically significant increase was determined in the serum GGT activity and total protein and urea levels of calves with normal passive immunity transfer by colostrum, compared to the other passive transfer groups (p<0.05). Even though slight differences were observed between groups regarding the remaining biochemical parameters, there is no significant differences were observed between the passive transfer groups for the other assayed parameters (p>0.05). In conclusion, these results showed that total protein and BUN levels in combination with the serum-GGT activity as a reliable criterion for the determination of passive transfer status can be used in newborn calves
