The present study aimed to investigate the influence of parity and breed on anti-trypsin activity in colostrum. Furthermore, the correlation between anti-trypsin activity and IgG content was assessed, along with the progression of anti-trypsin activity over the first 5\u2009days postpartum. Anti-trypsin activity was measured in colostrum samples of 104 cows of 9 different breeds (dairy breed: German Holstein Friesian, n\u2009=\u200968; beef breeds: Aberdeen Angus, Charolais, Limousin, Galloway Simmental, Pinzgauer, Rotes H\u00f6henvieh, Tiroler Grauvieh, n\u2009=\u200936). Colostrum samples were obtained less than 30\u2009min after calving. The interaction between parity and breed was observed to influence anti-trypsin activity (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.01). While primiparous German Holstein Friesian cows showed lower anti-trypsin activity compared to multiparous German Holstein Friesian, the opposite was true for colostrum samples of beef breeds.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>A weak positive correlation was found between anti-trypsin activity and IgG content in the 104 colostrum samples (rs = 0.23; P\u2009=\u20090.02). When the analysis was limited to samples with an IgG concentration of less than 50\u2009g\/L, a stronger correlation was observed (rs = 0.47; P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001). No significant correlation was identified if only colostrum samples with an IgG concentration of \u2265 50\u2009g\/L were considered (rs = \u22120.003; P\u2009=\u20090.99). In 13 cows anti-trypsin activity was measured every 24\u2009hours for 5\u2009days postpartum regardless of breed or parity. This approach was chosen to test the robustness of the collected data when applied to a heterogeneous group. A marked decline in activity was recorded with increasing time since parturition. The activity between the different time points differed significantly (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.01), except for the comparison between the measurements at 96\u2009hours and those at 120\u2009hours. These findings suggest that anti-trypsin activity in colostrum is influenced by the interaction of breed and parity. Anti-trypsin activity in colostrum decreases over time after birth. It seems to play an important role in bovine colostrum and transition milk of dairy and beef breeds.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jas\/skag166","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,21]],"date-time":"2026-05-21T11:46:28Z","timestamp":1779363988000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Anti-trypsin activity in bovine colostrum: influence of animal-related factors, correlation with immunoglobulin G content, and changes during the first 5 days postpartum"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"104","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-4666-9209","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lukas","family":"Trzebiatowski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Veterinary Clinic for Reproductive Medicine and Neonatology, Justus Liebig University , Giessen 35392,","place":["Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Plamen","family":"Georgiev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics, Reproduction and Reproductive Disorders, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Trakia University , Stara Zagora 6000,","place":["Bulgaria"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kathrin","family":"B\u00fcttner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unit for Biomathematics and Data Processing, Justus Liebig University , Giessen 35392,","place":["Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Axel","family":"Wehrend","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Veterinary Clinic for Reproductive Medicine and Neonatology, Justus Liebig University , Giessen 35392,","place":["Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026060517332932500_skag166-B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"72","DOI":"10.1007\/s11259-025-10646-7","article-title":"Deciphering the colostral-immunity transfer: from mammary gland to neonates small intestine","volume":"49","author":"Abdelrahman","year":"2025","journal-title":"Vet.
