Suhu Tubuh Sapi Neonatus Friesian Holstein yang Diberi Kolostrum dan Ditantang Escherichia coli

Abstract

The aimed of this research is to know body temperature of calves after challenges whith Escherichia Coli K-99 which given colostrum from vaccinated mother with polyvalent E. coli. In this research were used six neonates calves of Friesian Holstein. Immediately after they born, were done physical examination. Five calves were given colostrums (Asp1-Asp5) and another one(Asp) were given milk. Colostrum and milk were given as soon as possible after birth (1-2 hours of birth), 10%/kg body weight, 2 times/days for 3 days. After that, all neonates calves, were given milk 2 times/day. Challenge test was performed to all of the calves at 12 hours after birth, using live bacteria E. coli K-99, 5x1010 Colony Forming Unit (CFU) peroral. The result of this research demonstrated that calves which were given colostrums didn’t showed significant body temperature increased than calves were given milk. Key words: Colostrum, E. coli, the increase temperature
