Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of thermally activated natural zeolite T-zeolite on the absorption of IgG and incidences of enteric diseases. Thirty Holstein calves were fed 2 kg of pooled colostrum containing 0 0.5 1 1.5 and 2 g T-zeolite/kg BW/day. At 24 h calves receiving 1 g T-zeolite/kg BW/day had higher p0.05 plasma IgG than other treatments. Fecal consistency scores were lower p0.05 for calves receiving 0.5 and 1 g T-zeolite/kg BW/day compared to other treatments. In conclusion addition of 1 g T-zeolite/kg BW/day to colostrum could increase immunoglobulin absorption and decrease susceptibility of neonates to infections.
