Evaluation of IgG Concentration in Foals with Failure of Passive Transfer after Administration of Intravenous Serum or Plasma

摘要

Plasma treatment in foals resulted in greater increases in post-transfusion serum IgG concentrations compared with serum treatment. The results of this study suggest that similar foal serum IgG concentrations can be achieved 3 days post-transfusion byadministering 1 unit of plasma product or 2-3 units of serum product.
