TL;DR: The ingestion of the glucose diet within the first 24 h completely blocked the absorption of IgG from bovine colostrum applied from the second day, and the average half-life of heterologous IgG in the serum of groups I–IV was almost exactly the same, showing that the porcine Colostrum or IgG solution did not modify the half- life of bovina IgG.
Abstract: The interaction of homologous and heterologous IgG during intestinal absorption was investigated using five groups of newborn piglets (50 animals in total). The diet, given via a stomach tube, was different in each group during the first 24 h. Group I received bovine colostrum, group II bovine colostrum and porcine IgG solution, group III bovine and porcine colostrum, group IV bovine colostrum and intraperitoneally applied monomeric porcine IgG, and group V received a glucose diet with no immunoglobulins. Feeding was based on bovine colostrum between the 2nd and 6th days after birth, followed by a milk replacer during the rest of the experimental period. The serum concentrations of homologous and heterologous IgG were monitored from birth to 10 weeks of age. The total serum IgG content (homologous + heterologous) of newborns was almost equal in groups I-IV at 24 h. Porcine IgG from endogenous synthesis was detectable in the serum of groups I and V two weeks postpartum. The heterologous IgG absorbed from bovine colostrum produced nearly the same serum concentration in groups II and III: hence the different components of porcine colostrum did not influence the absorption of heterologous IgG. Intraperitoneal application of 1.3 g porcine IgG in group IV resulted in a delay of the synthesis of endogenous IgG. The average half-life of heterologous IgG in the serum of groups I-IV was almost exactly the same, showing that the porcine colostrum or IgG solution did not modify the half-life of bovine IgG.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

TL;DR: Gynaecological examination of mares evoked a moderate stress response in veterinary students, which was more evident after simulator-based than animal-based training.
Abstract: Invasive procedures in animals are challenging for veterinary students who may perceive a gynaecological examination of mares as stressful. Simulator-based training may reduce stress. In this study, students received equine gynaecology training 4 times either on horses (group H; n = 14) or a teaching simulator (group SIM; n = 13). One day and 14 days thereafter, their diagnostic skills were tested on horses (skills tests 1 and 2). During the skills tests, the students' stress response was analysed by heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV) parameters SDRR (standard deviation of beat-to-beat [RR] interval) and RMSSD (root-mean-square of successive RR differences), and salivary cortisol. In addition, students answered a questionnaire on their perceived stress. Sympathetic activation with increased heart rate (p < 0.001) occurred in both skills tests. In test 1, this increase was more pronounced in SIM than in H students (time × group p < 0.01). HRV decreased in students of both groups (p < 0.001). In skills test 1, this decrease was more pronounced for SIM than for H students (between groups and time × group p < 0.01 for SDRR and p < 0.05 for RMSSD). High cortisol concentrations before the skills tests may indicate an anticipatory stress response. Subjective stress perception of students was higher in skills test 1 vs 2 (p < 0.01). In skills test 2, H students felt more stressed than SIM students (p < 0.01). Self-assessment thus differed from physiological stress parameters. In conclusion, gynaecological examination of mares evoked a moderate stress response in veterinary students, which was more evident after simulator-based than animal-based training.

TL;DR: The recipient sow and her offspring remained ADV-seronegative on Day 28 after farrowing, indicating that the transmission of ADV had been blocked during the embryo transfer, and treated control embryos transferred into AD-free recipients caused seroconversion based on the serum neutralization test carried out 40 d later.
