Serum calcium and its relationship with immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels in prepartum buffaloes from the Venezuelan humid tropics by Juan Pablo Uzcátegui-Varela, Anacelmira Urbina Andueza, Janeth Caamaño Carrero

“…According to the results obtained, primiparous B. bubalis females close to parturition presented serum Ca2+ levels (8.03±0.25 mg/dL) similar to multiparous buffaloes (8.07±0.7 mg/dL) adjusted to the reference range (6.05-11.98 mg/dL) for water buffaloes. In contrast, IgG in young females was higher (761.33±21.81 mg/dL) concerning adult buffaloes (735. 83±17.39 mg/dL) with no statistically significant differences (p>0.05) between groups for both variables; however, the correlation test indicated that, in first calving buffaloes, the circulating Ca2+ level is negatively associated (r=-0.56) with IgG concentration, a physiological response that was statistically different (p<0.05) concerning multiparous buffaloes (r=0.83). …”
