Efficient colostrum feeding for calves: Experiences with ColoQuick on the farm
ColoQuick ensures calves receive enough colostrum immediately after birth. It's safer, and I know exactly what each calf consumed.
Sinja Peckelhoff, owner of Hof Peckelhoff in Rade, Germany, shares her experience with ColoQuick after testing the system for three months. Managing 300 dairy cows with an average herd milk production exceeding 10,000 liters, Peckelhoff highlights how ColoQuick ensures calves receive adequate colostrum immediately after birth—eliminating uncertainty about intake. She also emphasizes improved occupational safety when handling freshly calved cows and the peace of mind that comes from knowing exactly how much colostrum each calf has consumed, rather than relying on natural nursing where intake is unpredictable.
