Popis: Abstract Background Brix refractometry can be used to assess colostral immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentration, but studies identifying Brix percentages to detect high‐ and low‐IgG colostrum are lacking for beef cows and interlaboratory agreement is unknown. Objectives Evaluate Brix refractometer performance and interlaboratory agreement for assessing beef cow colostrum IgG concentration, including determination of thresholds to identify colostrum containing IgG concentrations
