 Colostrum

  • The newborn calf should be fed maternal colostrum (first mothers milk) in the first 24 hours.
  • This will help provide protection against future infections, particularly if the colostrum is fed before 12 hours.
  • If the mother’s colostrum is not available, the second option is to use cow’s colostrum.
  • If also not available, use a commercial colostrum replacer product.
