IgG concentrations were estimated using a digital Brix refractometer and measured using the radial immunodiffusion test (RID). Correlation coefficients were calculated between serum Brix percentages and IgG concentrations. A receiver operating curve (ROC) was created to identify the Brix thresholds for diagnosing FTPI and to calculate the sensitivity (Se) and specificity (Sp) of the tests. Optimum thresholds were selected based on the Youden index. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was calculated to evaluate the discrimination ability of the Brix refractometer.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      There was a high correlation (\n                      <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.72) between the Brix percentages and RID IgG concentrations of the foals at 12\u2009h after birth. The optimum threshold of the digital Brix refractometer to diagnose complete FTPI (IgG of &lt;400\u2009mg*dL\n                      <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n                      ) was \u22647.5% with 77.8% Se and 76.4% Sp. The optimum Brix threshold to diagnose complete\/partial FTPI (IgG of &lt;800\u2009mg*dL\n                      <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n                      ) was \u22647.8% with 79.5% Se and 78.8% Sp. The Brix refractometer was moderately accurate in differentiating between foals with or without complete\/partial FTPI (AUC ranged from 0.7 to 0.9).

This constitutes a handicap for the use of Brix refractometry in the horse industry.
