Statistical analyses were performed using SAS software
(version 9.00, SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC). The
SAS PROC MIXED procedure for repeated measurements
was used to evaluate the effect of colostrum
source (goat vs. sheep) and TFCF (2 vs. 14 h after
birth) on BW, IgG and IgM concentrations, ChT activity,
and TCA and ACA of lambs from birth to 20 d
after birth. A Tukey-Kramer test was used to evaluate
differences between groups. No interactions between effects
(colostrum source and TFCF) were observed.
