Passive immunity occurs when 'preformed' antibodies are made in one animal and passed onto another. For example a cow passes on her own antibodies to her calf via colostrum (first milk after parturition) and milk.
Antibodies can be transferred to other individuals via colostrum, milk, crossing of the placenta, vaccination, and plasma transfusions.

As a rough guide 8-10% of the neonate's body weight of good quality ('green') colostrum should be given over the first 12 hour period of a neonate's life to prevent FPT. This can be done effectively by hand feeding using bottles or with oesophageal feeders.
