◆ Information

Foals are born with little or no circulating immunoglobulins. Therefore, they
are without protection against challenge from invasive microorganisms or
other antigenic substances. The passive transfer of immunity occurs after
birth via ingestion and absorption of colostrum. Up to 20% of newborn foals
experience a partial or total failure of passive transfer, and these animals are
at high risk of serious illness or death. Failure of this passive transfer can
occur as a result of premature lactation, deficient suckling, malabsorption or
low IgG levels in colostrum.

.

◆ Diagnosis

An IgG test can identify if a failure of passive transfer has occurred or not.
This test detects the levels of IgG in the blood which are indicative of the
success or failure of the passive transfer. An adequate level of IgG is 800
mg/dl of serum or greater. Levels less than 800 mg/dl indicate inadequate
passive transfer.

◆ Prevention and Treatment

A rapid identification of low IgG levels is very important for the early
initiation of treatment of immunodeficient foals. The initial testing should be
done when the foals are about 12 hours old or as soon as possible thereafter.
To determine the success of IgG supplementation, post-treatment is
recommended.

◆ Introduction

The objective of the SensPERT Foal IgG Test kit is to determine Foal IgG antibodies titer in foal.
Antibody titer against Foal IgG is measured by solid phase immunochromatographic assay for the rapid and semi-quantitative detection immunoglobulin G (IgG) in foal whole blood, serum or plasma. Protection in newborn foal is mainly by maternally derived antibodies. The maternally derived antibodies strongly protect foal from infection. Thus, levels of maternal derived antibodies can help diagnose what extent.

◆ Characteristics

1) One-step rapid test of Foal IgG antibodies
2) Rapid test results between 5 ~ 10 minutes
3) Expensive equipment not required
4) Easy storage and maintenance
5) High-purity and high-quality materials of the test kit increase its sensitivity and specificity.
