title: The relationship between serum IgG levels and age, leg injuries, infections and weight gains in dairy calves.
abstract: Serum IgG profiles for calves up to 50 days varied markedly depending on the level of passively acquired immunity. A relationship between serum IgG at 5 days of age and prevalence of leg injuries (skin lesions) was found, whereas no associations were seen regarding IgG and diarrhoea or liveweight gain.
