Summary

Immunoglobulin concentrations in 2-day-old Finnish Landrace × Dorset Horn lambs were remarkably high and uniform and were unrelated to litter size. The mean concentrations in singles, twins, triplets and quadruplets were 2.95 ± 0.215, 2.95 ± 0.099, 2.94 ± 0.105 and 3.03 ± 0.142 g/100 ml respectively.
