Effect of Feeding Bovamine® Probiotic on Passive Transfer of Immunoglobulin G in Newborn Calves
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Early studies have suggested that bacteria in colostrum may interfere with passive absorption of immunoglobulins (lg) in newborn calves (James et al, 1981), and recent studies reported that calves fed pasteurized colostrum had improved passive transfer of IgG versus calves fed fresh colostrum (Johnson et al, 2007; Heinrichs et al, 2009a). However, a recent study reported that colostrum bacteria counts were not associated with IgG absorption (Heinrichs et al, 2009b). Do pathogenic or non-pathogenic bacteria, living or dead, truly interfere with lg absorption? Bovamine® (Nutrition Physiology Company, LLC, Overland Park, KS) is a direct-fed microbial (DFM or probiotic) containing a patented combination of living Lactobacillus acidophilus ( 1 x 109 cfu/1 g dose) and Propionibacterium freudenreichii (2 x 109 cfu/1 g dose). The study objective was to describe the effect of supplementing colostrum with living or dead DFM on serum total protein (STP) and IgG levels, and apparent efficiency of absorption of IgG (AEA %).

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
