(14) The protective antibodies are transferred passively to calves through the colostrum.
(15) Intestinal macromolecular transmission in young rats of 10, 14, 18, 22 and 30 days of age was measured as the blood serum levels of markers 6 h after oral feeding of a solution containing bovine IgG (BIgG), bovine serum albumin (BSA) and fluorescein-isothiocyanate-labeled dextran 70,000 (FITC-D), either alone (controls) or with soybean trypsin inhibitor (SBTI) or swine colostrum trypsin inhibitor (SCTI).

(17) The Mn, Cu, Fe, Zn content in colostrum was estimated by atomic absorption spectroscopy.
(18) Underfeeding reduced the total yield of colostrum during the first 18 hours after birth by decreasing the prenatal accumulation of colostrum and its subsequent rates of secretion.
(19) Bovine apoTf and colostrum lactoferrin were greater than 100-fold less active; human milk apo-lactoferrin and apo-ovotransferrins were inactive.
(20) Frozen colostrum thawed in a microwave oven should provide a reasonable source of colostrum when fresh high quality colostrum is not available.
Foremilk
Definition:
(n.) The milk secreted just before, or directly after, the birth of a child or of the young of an animal; colostrum.
Example Sentences:
(1) The conclusion is that rise of blood glucose does not take place in all piglets after the first intake of foremilk.
(2) For foremilk, geometric means of Coulter milk somatic cell counts and Fossomatic counts were not different.
(3) There was no difference among foremilk, middle milk and hind milk, nor was there a diurnal pattern of variation in unesterified choline concentrations.
(4) Quarter foremilk samples were aseptically collected from each cow within 1 mo of drying off and within 1 mo after parturition for bacteriological analysis.
(5) Variation of three estimates of udder inflammation (SCC, California mastitis test, and electrical conductivity) among the foremilk, machine milk, and hand stripping samples were studied.
(6) With two groups of 12 cows, a procedure involving foremilking, teat washing and drying before milking was compared with no premilking preparation for its effects on mastitis and teat contamination.
(7) Machine milk, foremilk, and stripping milk fractions in udders where both halves were healthy were compared.
(8) Most variables were more accurate in predicting infection when measures were in strippings rather than in foremilk or bucket milk.
(9) Foremilk samples were obtained for bacteriological examination, somatic cell count of milk, and for assay of phagocytosis.
(10) Levels of prostaglandin E2, prostaglandins F2 alpha and prostacyclin (measured as 6-keto PGF1 alpha) were measured by radioimmunoassay in aliquots of foremilk and hindmilk obtained at different stages of lactation, (colostrum, transitional and mature milk), from ten healthy nursing mothers who delivered at term.
(11) Foremilk samples were taken aseptically for bacterial analysis.
(12) The diagnostic reliability of techniques for determining the prevalence of teat canal infections varies: bacteriological results obtained by examination of teat canal swabs were 20% higher on average than those of foremilk samples (FMS) examined and classified according to the criteria of the International Dairy Federation (IDF).
(13) The log SCC of the machine milk did not differ from that of the foremilk fraction but was significantly less than the stripping milk.
(14) Quarter samples of foremilk, strippings, and bucket milk were obtained from 75 cows at the afternoon milking over 8 wk.
(15) The following were recorded: daily milk production, feed intake, and health observations; weekly body weight, temperature, heart and respiratory rates and rectal palpation; semi-monthly clinical chemistry determinations; and monthly milk fat, microbiological culture of quarter foremilk samples, and composite milk somatic cell counts.
