Passive Transfer, Colostrum, etc Part 2, mostly FPT and the like.

04/02/21 • 37 min

More Goat Talk about the whole passive transfer of maternal immunity for our goat kids coming at you in this episode. We talked about the actual amazing importance and complexity to the seemingly simple system of goat kids drinking colostrum in the first 24 hours of their lives in Part 1, so in Part 2, I go into what problems can arise from the failure of passive transfer (FPT), sequelae of FPT, and goat and human behaviors that can cause FPT to be a problem.

Previous Episode

Passive Transfer of Immunity, Colostrum, etc. Part 1

Crash course in immunology of neonatal goat kids part one! In this episode, I try to give a foundation for understanding what all is going on with goat kid immune systems and how they manage to survive a world full of bacteria and potential pathogens for the first 1-2 months of their lives while their immune systems get geared up. Talking about a whole bunch of things in this episode including placentation (refresh yourself with Episode 23: Ode to the Placenta), antibodies and what the heck those things are, and all things relating to the transfer of material antibodies to the neonatal goat kid immediately following parturition. There's a lot to talk about, so you will be super surprised that I do that. ;)

Buck Keeping

I got a couple of requests to talk about general buck keeping, so here we go! Also go check out Episode 39 for a more reproductive focused buck episode.

This episode starts with a step back to talk about the "why" of keeping a buck, then my general nutrition recommendations, and then some of the less charming aspects of keeping bucks.
