The first mother's milk of mammals is very special. We call this milk colostrum. This colostrum is produced just before birth and is clearly different from regular milk. It is thicker and more yellowish, filled with crucial proteins for a newborn animal. It contains hundreds of different substances that have a healing effect. The antibodies provide passive immunity, and growth factors stimulate the development of the digestive system. Thus, colostrum helps protect the young animal against negative environmental factors.
Young animals that have a difficult start in life and need to be hand-fed can benefit greatly from extra colostrum. That's why we recommend adding colostrum powder to the milk feeding of all young motherless mammals. For example, give kittens a mixture of 1/6 part Col-O-Cat and 5/6 part kitten milk. For puppies, there is Col-O-Dog.
If you are supplementing colostrum alongside the animal drinking milk from the mother, you can easily mix the colostrum with a little water.
But what about other species? Fortunately, colostrum is not species-specific. You can give cow colostrum to a sheep, rat, or rabbit. Even then, it has a beneficial effect on the digestive system and the immune system. Colostrum Therapy is a general remedy suitable for all mammals. However, be aware that not all species can tolerate the lactose in colostrum.
Fortunately, the lactose content in Colostrum Therapy is relatively low compared to other brands. That's what we also appreciate about the products from Biestwinkel.nl. It is made from genuine good biest obtained from the first milking after the birth of the calf. As a result, the protein content and the amount of good nutrients are much higher than in other brands. And that makes a big difference!
Colostrum is available at ColostrumShop.eu. However, you can also easily order it along with milk powder, nipples, and other necessities at https://shop.melkvoordieren.nl.
