[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1548173, member: 16453"] It is more common in horses, the mare gets enough of the foals blood across the placenta to develop antibodies to it so when the foal drinks the colostrum the AB attack the RBC producing anaemia and jaundice. At least I think that is what happens from memory. A lot of it is dependent on the type and closeness of the mother and foetus blood supply in the different types of placentas in the different species. I have not heard of it in cattle but not saying it does not happen. Maybe the vet was extrapolating the symptoms seen in the calf to her experience with horses???? Ken [/QUOTE]
