For my work at Melk voor Dieren, I assist people in hand-raising young animals. Various issues can arise with the little ones, and I notice that many problems are related to nutrition. The process of giving birth demands a lot from the mother. She needs extra nutrients to ensure the proper growth of the little ones in her belly, and for good milk production, it's crucial that the mother eats well. If the mother lacks certain nutrients, the offspring may not grow properly, and she might reject her young.
Keep the mother healthy with good nutrition, and the young ones will also grow up healthy.
That's why I recommend supplementing the mother's diet with not only high-quality basic food but also extra colostrum. Colostrum provides various types of proteins, which are essential building blocks for the body. Colostrum contains many important substances that can support the immune system of the mother animal. Components such as lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase, IgA, and other substances boost immunity, and colostrum contributes to good digestive function.
Colostrum Therapy is the best colostrum available. It is made from high-quality biest and has never been heated. Therefore, it contains higher concentrations of beneficial nutrients than other types of colostrum.
Support the mother with a little Colostrum Therapy twice a day
A healthy mother has a better chance of having a healthy litter. To keep the mother healthy, give a little Colostrum Therapy twice a day during pregnancy and afterwards. You can easily sprinkle the powder over some canned food or dissolve it in water or cat milk and give it to the mother that way. Most animals find it very tasty.
For dogs and cats, give 2.5 grams of Colostrum Therapy twice a day. Colostrum Therapy is also suitable for other mammal species such as ferrets, rabbits, raccoons, and hedgehogs. Small mammals only need one gram of colostrum powder twice a day.
A jar of Colostrum Therapy weighing 100 grams is sufficient for approximately 3 weeks.
