Want to improve your
colostrum management?
The four key factors can make all the difference — and understanding them is the key to healthier calves and stronger, more productive cows.
In this expert-led webinar, our veterinarian explains the science behind colostrum management and how to avoid the most common pitfalls in dairy herds.
Four Important Factors
These four crucial factors determine how well the calf absorbs antibodies from colostrum — directly impacting future milk production.
QUALITY
Colostrum quality varies greatly from cow to cow — some produce plenty of antibodies, others very few. With ColoQuick, you always start with tested, high-quality colostrum. That means every calf gets what it needs, no matter which cow it came from.

BACTERIA
High bacteria levels in colostrum reduce the calf’s ability to absorb antibodies. By freezing colostrum immediately and thawing it safely in a closed system, ColoQuick helps minimise contamination — and protect the antibodies that matter.

TIME
A calf’s ability to absorb antibodies drops rapidly after birth. The sooner colostrum is fed, the better. ColoQuick makes it easy to feed within the first hour — giving calves the best chance to build strong immunity from the very beginning.

TEMPERATURE
Feeding colostrum at the right temperature is key to optimal absorption. Too cold, and the gut won’t open properly. Too hot, and antibodies may be damaged. ColoQuick ensures a fast and gentle thaw — for consistent, body-temperature colostrum every time.
