Orientador: José Jurandir Fagliari / Banca: Mario Roberto Hatayde / Banca: Eduardo Harry Birgel Junior / Resumo: Os objetivos do estudo foram: 1. avaliar as concentrações de proteína total, imunoglobulina G, enzimas e minerais na secreção láctea de cabras e vacas, nos primeiros 30 dias pós-parto, estabelecendo o limite máximo possível para se obter secreção láctea que permita adequada transferência de imunidade passiva aos neonatos; 2. avaliar a influência do congelamento nestes constituintes; e, disponibilizar informações que possam auxiliar na montagem de bancos de colostro. Foram examinadas amostras de secreções lácteas de 10 cabras da raça Saanen e 10 vacas da raça Holandesa recém-paridas e sadias, de terceira ou quarta lactação, coletadas nos momentos: dia do parto e 1, 3, 5, 9, 14 e 29 dias após o parto. As amostras foram obtidas após a ordenha completa das cabras e vacas. As amostras de colostro caprino foram submetidas aleatoriamente a seis tratamentos, de acordo com o período de congelamento; enquanto as amostras de colostro bovino foram submetidas a cinco tratamentos. As amostras do grupo G1 são colostros caprinos "in natura"; as amostras do grupo G2 são as mesmas amostras do G1, porém submetidas ao aquecimento de 56ºC durante 60 minutos; as amostras do grupo G3 foram submetidas a 30 dias de congelamento, as amostras do grupo G4, a 60 dias de congelamento, as amostras do grupo G5, a 90 dias de congelamento e as do grupo G6, a 180 dias de congelamento. As amostras de colostro bovino foram submetidas aos mesmos períodos de congelamento...

It were used samples of milky secretions of 10 Saanen goats and 10 Holstein cows recently-given birth and healthy, of third or fourth nursing, collected in the moments: in the day of the parturition and 1, 3, 5, 9, 14 and 29 days after the parturition. The samples were obtained after goats and cows complete milks. The samples of goat colostrum were submitted to six treatments, in agreement with the freezing period; the samples of cow colostrum were submitted to five treatments. The samples of the group G1 are goat colostrums "in natura"; the samples of the group G2 are the same samples of G1, however submitted to the heating of 56ºC for 60 minutes; the samples of the group G3 were submitted to 30 days of freezing, the samples of the group G4, to 60 days of freezing, the samples of the group G5, to 90 days of freezing and the one of the group G6, to 180 days of freezing. The samples of cow colostrum were submitted to the same freezing periods... (Complete abstract, click electronic access below) / Mestre
