The results of the study indicate that infection status at parturition does not significantly affect colostrum antibody concentrations and quality, and that other factors at the local level of the mammary gland have a greater impact on colostrum synthesis and antibody transport into the mammary gland.
Feeding calves a high-quality and antibody-rich colostrum is an important management practice for supporting calf health and productivity. Colostrum quality and antibody concentrations are highly variable between cows and among quarters within a cow. Intramammary infections often occur during the time of colostrum formation; however, it is unknown if these infections ultimately affect colostrum quality and antibody concentrations. The objective of this study was to determine if antibody concentrations and Brix percentage in colostrum from infected mammary glands (quarters) differed from uninfected. In 2 cross-sectional studies, colostrum samples were aseptically collected at first milking from 110 Holstein and 89 Jersey cows at 3 Holstein and 4 Jersey commercial dairy farms in Ohio. A total of 771 quarter samples were collected, underwent bacteriological culture, and were measured for Brix percentage with a digital refractometer. When 1 infected and 1 uninfected quarter existed among the fore or rear quarters within a cow, IgG(1), IgG(2), IgA, and IgM antibody concentrations were determined via ELISA for the paired quarters (n = 82). Overall, for Holstein cows, Brix percentages were greater in multiparous than primiparous cows (30.5 vs. 23.7 +/- 2.1 SEM), but an opposite pattern was observed for Jersey cows (24.3 vs. 27.2 +/- 1.2 SEM). Uninfected quarters in both Holstein and Jersey multiparous cows had greater Brix percentage than colostrum from infected quarters; this pattern was absent for Holstein and Jersey primiparous cows. For Holstein cows, concentrations of IgG(1), IgG(2), and IgA were greater in multiparous cows than primiparous cows; quarter-infection status did not significantly influence antibody concentrations. For Jersey samples, antibody concentrations did not differ between primiparous and multiparous cows and were not significantly affected by quarter-infection status. The results of these works indicate that infection status at parturition does not markedly affect colostrum antibody concentrations and quality, and that of her factors at the local level of the mammary gland more greatly influence colostrogenesis and antibody transport into the mammary gland during colostrogenesis.
