Assessment of Brix refractometry to estimate immunoglobulin G concentration in beef cow colostrum

Abstract Background Brix refractometry can be used to assess colostral immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentration, but studies identifying Brix percentages to detect high‐ and low‐IgG colostrum are lacking for beef cows and interlaboratory agreement is unknown. Objectives Evaluate Brix refractometer perfo...
