Abstract

This experiment was conducted to compare the growth performance and serum biochemical, antioxidant and immune indexes between calves with dam and calves without dam. Ten healthy newborn calves (Simmental crossbred♂×Pian cattle ♀) with similar birth and body weight were selected as the control group, and the calves were cultivated with heifers; whereas another 25 same breed calves with similar birth and body weight were bought as the experimental group, and the calves were cultivated without feeding colostrum and fed with milk replacer during the whole experimental period. Calves in the two groups were fed the same diet after 10 days of age. The experiment lasted for 90 days. The results showed as follows:1) the body weight of calves without dam at 30, 60 and 90 days of age was significantly lower than that of calves with dam (P<0.05), and the average daily gain of calves without dam during 1 to 30 days of age, 31 to 60 days of age, 61 to 90 days of age and 1 to 90 days of age was significantly lower than that of calves with dam (P<0.05). The mortality rate of calves without dam was significantly higher than that of calves with dam (P<0.05). 2) On 30 days of age, the activities of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in serum of calves without dam were significantly higher than those of calves with dam (P<0.05). On 60 days of age, the activities of AST and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in serum of calves without dam were significantly higher than those of calves with dam (P<0.05). On 90 days of age, no significant differences were observed in activities of ALT, AST and ALP in serum between two groups (P>0.05). 3) On 30 and 90 days of age, the serum total antioxidant capacity of calves without dam was significantly lower than that of calves with dam (P<0.05), and the serum malondialdehyde content was significantly higher than that of calves with dam (P<0.05). 4) On 30, 60 and 90 days of age, the serum immunoglobulin G content of calves without dam was significantly lower than that of calves with dam (P<0.05). On 30 days of age, the contents of interferon-γ, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-2 (IL-2) in serum of calves with dam were significantly higher than those of calves without dam (P<0.05). On 60 days of age, the contents of IL-2 and TNF-α in serum of calves without dam were significantly lower than those of calves with dam (P<0.05). On 90 days of age, the serum interleukin-4 content of calves without dam was significantly higher than that of calves with dam (P<0.05). In conclusion, the antioxidant capacity and immune function of calves without dam are lower than those of calves with dam, therefore the mortality rate is high. However, after 60 days of age, the difference of immune function between calves with dam and calves without dam is lower. A part of newborn calves can survive in the condition of completely fed with milk replacer when colostrum cannot be eaten.
