Summary

This study aimed at comparing data obtained from Azawak zebu colostrum with literature data. The comparison was performed by a meta-analytical approach. Colostrum samples were hand-collected after 5 h from seven Azawak cows at calving between August 27 and September 10, 2009 in the Sahel. For data from literature, 21 references were identified in the following analytical databases: PubMed, Science Direct, Google scholar, Collection from University of Liege. The references were selected according to the following two criteria: (i) only studies reported on bovine colostrum were used irrespective of breeds, and (ii) among the selected studies, those not providing complete information to allow meta-analytical calculation were excluded. Samples were analysed for immunoglobulins (IgG, IgM and IgA), lactoferrin and chemical composition (dry mater, protein, fat, lactose, ash, Ca, P, NA, K and Mg). The mean levels of IgG, IgM, dry matter, protein and fat for Azawak cows were lower (P < 0.001) than those obtained in other breeds; however, colostrum from the Azawak was higher in IgA but the difference was not significant. For lactose and ash, mean values for Azawak cows were higher (P < 0.001) than those from the literature. Contents of Ca, P, Na and Mg in Azawak bovine colostrum were significantly higher (P < 0.001) than the mean levels in form the literature data. In conclusion, the colostrum from Azawak cows appears to be lower in most immunoglobulins, in fat and in protein than the values reported in the literature, but higher in lactose and minerals. This could be an adaptation to Sahelian constraints.

Résumé

Ce travail vise à comparer les données obtenues avec le colostrum du zébu Azawak à celles obtenues dans la littérature aux fins d'une utilisation hétérologue chez les petits ruminants, et ceci en utilisant une approche méta-analytique. Des échantillons de colostrum ont été récoltés par traite manuelle au cours des vêlages entre le 27 août et le 10 septembre 2009 dans le Sahel, à partir de 7 zébus Azawak. Pour les données de la littérature, vingt et un (21) des références ont été identifiées dans les bases de données analytiques (PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar, Collection de l'Université de Liège). Les références ont été sélectionnées selon les deux critères suivants: (i) les études rapportées sur le colostrum bovin ont été utilisées sans distinction de races, et (II) parmi les études sélectionnées celles ne comportant pas des informations complètes pour permettre le calcul méta-analyse ont été exclues. Les échantillons ont été analysés pour immunoglobulines (IgG, IgM, IgA), lactoferrine, et la composition chimique (matière sèche, protéines, lipide, lactose, cendre brute, calcium, phosphore, sodium, potassium, magnésium). Les concentrations moyennes d'IgG, d’IgM de matière sèche, de protéines et matières grasses pour le zébu Azawak présentaient des valeurs plus faibles (P < 0.001) que celles obtenues chez d'autres races, mais elles ont des niveaux plus élevés en IgA (P > 0.05), lactose et cendre brut (P < 0,001). Les teneurs en minéraux solubles (Ca, P, K, Na et Mg) du colostrum du zébu Azawak étaient significativement plus élevées (P < 0.001) que les niveaux moyens des données de la littérature recueillies. En conclusion, comparé aux données de littérature, le colostrum de vache Azawak semble être plus pauvre en immunoglobuline, en lipides et en protéines, mais plus riche en lactose et en minéraux. Il se pourrait qu’il s’agisse d’une adaptation de la race au milieu sahélien.

Resumen

Este estudio tiene como objetivo comparar los datos obtenidos a partir de cebú Azawak calostro con datos de la literatura, para uso heterólogo en pequeños rumiantes. La comparación se realiza, utilizando un enfoque meta-analítico. Muestras de calostro fueron recogidos a mano durante el parto entre agosto 27 y septiembre, el 10 de 2009 en el Sahel, de 7 Azawak vacas. Para los datos de la literatura, veintiuno (21) referencias se identificaron en las siguientes bases de datos analíticos: PubMed, Science Direct, Google scholar, Colección de la Universidad de Lieja. Las referencias han sido seleccionados de acuerdo con los dos criterios siguientes: (i) sólo estudios informaron sobre el calostro bovino se utilizaron independientemente de razas, y (ii) entre los estudios seleccionados los que no proporcionan información completa para permitir el cálculo meta-analítica fueron excluidos. Las muestras se ensayaron para inmunoglobulinas (IgG, IgM, IgA), lactoferrina, y la composición química (materia seca, proteína, lípido, lactosa, ceniza bruta, calcio, fósforo, sodio, potasio, magnesio). Los niveles medios de IgG, IgM, materia seca, proteína y grasa de vaca Azawak fueron menores (P < 0.001) que los obtenidos en otras razas, pero fue mayor para IgA (P > 0.05). En el caso de la lactosa y cenizas, los valores medios de las vacas Azawak fueron más altos (P < 0.001) que los de la literatura. Contenido de Ca, P, Na y Mg en Azawak calostro bovino fueron significativamente mayores (P < 0.001) que los niveles medios en datos de la literatura.. El calostro de Azawak se aparece contenir menos immunoglobulin, gasa y proteína que los datos de la literatura, pero mas lactose y cenizas. A lo mejor, se podría estar un adaptacio al medio Sahelian.
