Colostrum intake in neonatal calves resulted in consistently greater plasma adiponectin concentrations compared to formula feeding, with a 4.7-fold increase observed by day 3.
Population
Neonatal calves and 4 Holstein cows undergoing cesarean section
Comparison

Warrants no change in human neonatal feeding; leaves open translation of calf adiponectin findings to infants or CV risk.
Colostrum intake is essential for the postnatal increase of circulating adiponectin in newborn calves, as placental transfer is unlikely.
Kesser et al. (2015) studied Neonatal calves. Colostrum intake vs. Formula or before colostrum intake was evaluated on Blood concentration of adiponectin. Colostrum intake in neonatal calves resulted in consistently greater plasma adiponectin concentrations compared to formula feeding, with a 4.7-fold increase observed by day 3.
