Failure of Passive Immune Transfer in Neonatal Beef Calves: A Scoping Review
2025-06-11
Abstract excerpt
Neonatal calves possess an immature and naïve immune system and are reliant on the intake of maternal colostrum for passive transfer of immunoglobulins. Maternal antibodies delivered to the calf via colostrum, are crucial to prevent calfhood diseases and death.
