The Challenge
In each herd, there is a large variation of the amount of antibodies in colostrum between cows. Some cows produce many antibodies
– others very few.
If colostrum is fed directly from the cow, antibody absorption mirrors its quality, leading to random results and limiting the calf’s potential as high-producing dairy cow.
A calf’s ability to absorb antibodies declines rapidly after birth, making it crucial to feed colostrum quickly while keeping bacteria levels low and ensuring the right temperature.
Four Important Factors
These four crucial factors determine how well the calf absorbs antibodies from
colostrum — directly impacting future milk production.
QUALITY
Correct colostrum nutrition with a high level of antibodies ensures increased health and hereby reduction of cost.
TIME
Colostrum needs to be fed quickly after birth to maximize milk production.
BACTERIA
Bacteria reduce the calf’s absorption
of the vital antibodies in colostrum.
TEMPERATURE
For optimal absorption of antibodies, the colostrum needs to be fed at body temperature.
How ColoQuick Solves This
STEP 1: High-Quality Colostrum Storage
Farmers freeze their best colostrum using our unique cartridge bag system, ensuring its consistent supply of top-quality colostrum.
STEP 2: Rapid Warming
When a calf is born, the frozen colostrum is quickly thawed to the perfect feeding temperature using the ColoQuick unit – in just 20 minutes.
STEP 3: Optimal First Feeding
The newborn calf receives colostrum with a high level of antibodies – at the right temperature and right when it matters most. This sets it up for a healthier and more productive future.
The Result
- Every calf receives the best start in a clean, controlled environment.
- Stronger immunity and reduced disease risk.
- More high-producing dairy cows, improving farm efficiency and profitability.
