Colostrum
Colostrum is produced immediately after calving and turns gradually to mature milk in 2-3 days. It lays the foundation of lifelong immunity and incorporates more protein, fat, minerals, growth factors, immunoglobulins, and low concentration of lactose in comparison to regular mature milk of bovines. Typically, Colostrum is said to be secreted in the most concentrated form during the first 8-10 hours after parturition. During this time, Colostrum provides high nutrients and antibodies to the newborn in an extreme concentration to a low volume ratio.
