Extract

Perry (1964) has shown that piglets failed to absorb homologous Brucella abortus antibodies, whereas they absorbed homologous Salmonella pullorum antibodies much more readily. When S. pullorum antibody was used, piglets showed marked differences in their efficiency of absorption. These differences existed whether the antibodies were administered in serum or in colostrum (Perry and Watson, 1967a, b). Moreover, they could not be entirely accounted for by variation in concentration of antibody in the dose, age at dosage, genetical effects or maternal effects (Perry and Watson, 1967a).
