A calf is born without antibodies, making it vulnerable to infections, until its own immune system is established.
The more antibodies the calf absorbs – the better the immune system and protection against disease. A good immune system is key to low costs and higher milk yields.
Therefore, considerable revenues are gained, by optimizing the calf’s first meal – the colostrum.
Correct colostrum nutrition with a high level of antibodies ensures increased health and hereby reduction of cost.
High quality colostrum contains several essential substances which is a natural mean of improving the calf’s growth rate.
Providing colostrum within the first hour of the calf’s life, substantially increases the future milk yield and hereby future earnings.
A healthy cow will have an increased lifespan and will provide milk for a longer period of time.
