- Abstract
Immunoglobulin concentrations were measured in colostrum and milk from individual mammary glands of three cows. Two of the glands of each cow had been vaccinated with a live, formalinized, E. coli vaccine. No major differences were found between immunoglobulin concentrations in colostrum from vaccinated and non-vaccinated glands. However, markedly higher concentrations of all immunoglobulins were found in mammary secretions from the vaccinated glands taken 2 and 3 days after calving. IgA concentrations were significantly higher in milk from vaccinated glands than in milk from non-vaccinated glands from day 2 to day 28.
