چکیده
Received: Revised: Accepted: June 07, 2014 July 29, 2014 August 24, 2014 We investigated the dynamics and duration of antibody titer against Pasteurella multocida in Japanese Black calves. Twenty unvaccinated calves from two Japanese Black breeding farms in Japan, were studied. Blood samples were obtained from all calves at 1, 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 weeks after birth, and also obtained from their dams once at 1 week after calving. Antibody titer against P. multocida in calves at 1 week of age after birth was well correlated with that in their damsat 1 week after calving. Maternally derived antibody titer against P. multocida reached the lowest at 4 weeks of age. Calves began producing antibody against P. multocida by themselves between 4 and 8 weeks of age. These results might help designing a vaccination program against P. multocida for Japanese Black calves. ©2014 PVJ. All rights reserved

متن کاملCorrelation between neonatal calf diarrhea and the level of maternally derived antibodies
Passively acquired antibodies through colostrum will protect calves against etiological agents of neonatal calf diarrhea. Among them enteric diseases due to strains of Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) are the most commonly occurring form of colibacillosis in newborn calves. Specific antibodies against whole ETEC cells and total immunoglobulin G in dam serum, colostrum and calf serum were...

Lesions of calf pneumonia caused by Pasteurella haemolytica or P. mu/t,ocida were examined histopathologically using an immunoperoxidase technique for the detection of the bacterial antigen. The results indicated that: 1) multifocal coagulation necrosis sharply demarcated by degenerated leukocytes was a characteristic pulmonary lesion caused by P. haemolytica, 2) other bacteria than P. haemolyt...
