Calves are born without immunity, and need colostrum to help protect them as they develop their own immune system over the first few weeks of life. Colostrum will influence calf health, immunity and growth \u2013 all early indicators and factors in determining lifetime performance potential.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-colostrum-determines-calf-health\">Colostrum Determines Calf Health\u202f<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The colostrum you use directly determines the future success of your herd, making it a choice that carries more weight than we often realize. If calves have an issue with colostrum and are unable to establish immunity, they spend the rest of their lives trying to catch up and performing below potential.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With so many colostrum options available, differentiating between them and choosing the option that establishes the most immunity can be an overwhelming decision. What factors are important to evaluate? What makeup of whey, casein and fat is optimal for rapidly establishing immunity? How much colostrum immunoglobulins are needed? Choosing a colostrum that can successfully deliver IgGs within the calf\u2019s first few hours of life will make or break the ability of your heifer calves to develop into productive cows.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quickly Establish Immunity with Concentrated Colostrum IgGs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To develop top performing cows, delivering the highest concentration of colostrum IgGs is your solution. Look for options with the non-immune components &#8211; fat and casein &#8211; removed. Calves are born with enough fat and glycogen stores to sustain them through the first 24 to 48 hours of life, so these components are not needed at the first feeding. In fact, fat and casein can actually prevent essential immune components from being delivered immediately to the small intestine and require more of the calf\u2019s energy and time to separate them out internally. When fat and casein are included:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Curd formation\u202foccurring\u202fin the calf\u2019s digestive system\u202ftakes time and delays IgG\u202frelease into the small intestine&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Some whey\u202fand IgG fail\u202fto be separated from the fat and casein and remain\u202funavailable for absorption\u202fin the small intestine&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Some non-IgG proteins\u202fescape to the small intestine and\u202fcompete with\u202fIgGs for absorption\u202fbecause the process is non-selective, meaning the animal is absorbing any protein, not just the IgG proteins&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The best colostrum for calves has the nutrient-dense whey and IgG components readily available to the calf\u2019s small intestine resulting in greater absorption, immunity and inflammatory responses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zinpro.com\/en_na\/products\/premolac-colostrum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Zinpro\u00ae Premolac\u00ae colostrum<\/a> enables you to embrace those immune components and offers the flexibility to be used as a colostrum replacer or supplement based on your operation\u2019s goals.
