[Colostral immunoglobulin levels in dead calves as related to microbiological and pathoanatomic findings].
At the age from three days to one month, 76 deceased calves were subjected to examination. Their average weight was 36.2 kg. The patho-anatomic examination revealed gastro-enteritis in 76.3% of the dead calves, pneumonia in 46 percent. A reduced level of immunoglobulins was recorded in 78% of the deceased calves. A low average immunoglobulin level was found in the calves in which septicaemia (IgG 217.9 mg and IgM 9.1 mg per 100 ml) or pyaemia (IgG 236.6 mg and IgM 8.3 mg per 100 ml) had been demonstrated. In the calves which had died from pneumonia or dietetic and technological defects, the average immunoglobulin values were higher (IgG 813.1 mg and 856.3 mg, IgM 41.1 and 47.4 mg per 100 ml). The microbiological finding was positive in 66 calves.
