🐪 ✴️ Camel Immunity notes:
❇️ Camelids have a thick-layered Epitheliochorial placenta which prevents trans-placental transfer of IgG. The camels obtain passive immunity by intestinal absorption of IgG from the colostrum.
❇️ New-born dromedary calves have very little demonstrable serum IgG prior to ingesting colostrum (220 mg/mL) (Bravo et al., 1997).
❇️ New-borns that fail to acquire adequate passive immunity are at greater risk of developing diseases such as diarrhoea, enteritis, septicaemia, pneumonia.
❇️ IgG decline rapidly and reach low levels 2 weeks after birth.
📖 Ref.: Infectious diseases in Camelids, Wernery, Kaaden, 2014.
✴️ Direct transfer of IgG into the intravenous blood stream of New-born calf to the optimum serum level greater than (9 mg/mL) (Barrington et al., 1999).
✴️ This level makes the required protection against all diseases of New-born calves.
🐪 💉 Camelplas®
Camelplas is collected from donors camels that have a much higher content of gamma globulins and antibodies in their plasma after vaccination than normal camels, with a minimum IgG level of 15g/L. Donors run in a closed, quarantined herd and have been tested negative for Johnes Disease, Enzootic Bovine Leucosis, Blue Tongue, and Bovine Viral Diarrhoea Virus (Pestivirus).
✅ Supplied under APVMA permit. Plasvacc Australia
✅ Camelplas® has been proven to be completely safe and efficacious..
✅ Camelplas® is an aid in increasing the gamma globulin level (in the blood) of camel, especially in cases of Failure of Passive Transfer.
