Abstract

AbstractThe concentrations of immunoglobulins and protein in piglet feces at one day to ten weeks of age were assayed by the single radial immunodiffusion and by the Lowry method, respectively.The concentrations of IgG, IgA, IgM and total immunoglobulin were found to be significantly higher at one day and two days of age than those at one week to ten weeks of age. The concentrations of IgA, IgM and total immunoglobulin at two days of age were the highest and those at one day of age were the next highest. However, in case of IgG, there seemed to be no such difference in concentrations.There was almost no significant difference in concentrations of IgG, IgA and total immunoglobulin in feces at one week to ten weeks of age. On the other hand, the concentration of IgM at eight weeks of age seemed to be the least from one day to ten weeks of age.The concentration of protein at two days of age was the highest and that at one day of age was the next highest. Those at one week to three weeks of age were the least among those at one day to ten weeks of age.
