Evaluation of a Brix refractometer to estimate serum immunoglobulin G concentration in neonatal dairy calves

The objective of this study was to evaluate the utility of a digital Brix refractometer for the assessment of success of passive transfer of maternal immunoglobulin compared with the measurement of serum total protein (STP) by refractometry. Blood samples (n=400) were collected from calves at 3 to 6...
