Effect of native and vitamincontaining liposomes on the formation of maternal immunity of newborn calves
Journal Title: Біологія тварин - Year 2015, Vol 17, Issue 3
Abstract
Due to structural features of cows’ placenta, calves are born vulnerable to potentially pathogenic factors. The research presented in this paper was aimed to investigate the level of maternal immunity in the organism of newborns calves using colostrum with its native liposomes and liposomes with vitamins A and E (preparation ‘Membranostabil’). Blood serum of newborn calves was used as the material for the study in which total protein and immunoglobulins were tested in the dynamics from birth of animal to 11-day of age. It was established that use of colostrum with native lecithin liposomes and liposomes containing vitamins A and E 1 time per day increased the level of immunoglobulin in 1.6–2.6 times in the blood serum and prevented indigestion in the newborn calves. The research results indicated membrane-stabilizing effect of native and rich in vitamins A and E liposomes for plasmolemma of enterocytes of the small intestine in newborn calves. We suggest that the effect of these preparations is determined by liposomal phospholipids and the ability of vitamins contained in liposomes to maintain a stable structure and viscosity of the plasmic membrane of enterocytes and enhance significantly the activity of proteins of membrane receptors to colostral immunoglobulins.

Metabolism of nitrogen-containing compounds in the rumen fluid and productive parameters of cows at the presence of coffee sludge in the diet
The biochemical mechanisms of influence of coffee sludge in the summer diet on metabolic processes and productive performance of cows are poorly understood. The purpose of the study was to study the metabolism of nitroge...
Indices of renewal of ewe sexual activity and its correlation with age, weight, traditional reproductive traits and climatic conditions
To evaluate the quality of renewal of the sexual activity in ewes during the insemination campaign next indices were developed: IHi — the index of heat (0 or 1), IHTi — the index of heat time (from 1 to 4), ICTi — the in...
