For cattle producers, the challenge is that colostrum is not uniform from cow to cow or season to season. Research shows that colostrum yield and quality are influenced by environmental factors, prepartum nutrition, metabolic status, and management around calving and first milking.

More Than First Milk: Factors That Influence Colostrum Yield and Quality Colostrum is more than “first milk.” It is the newborn calf’s initial source of antibodies, energy, and bioactive compounds that support immunity and gut development. Both the amount produced and the composition matter. For cattle producers, the challenge is that colostrum is not uniform from ...

When milking stops, involution (break down of milk-producing tissue) begins. As milk-producing cells stop functioning, immune cells enter the udder and clear residual milk and bacteria.

Over the next several weeks, the udder rests and regenerates.

About 3 weeks prior to calving the udder begins to form new milk producing cells and to develop colostrum.

Post calving time is ticking as the window in which colostrum is at its highest quality passes quickly.

How long does it take you to harvest colostrum on your farm?

The first weeks of life lay the foundation for everything that follows.

The Calf Distinction- Milk Phase program is designed to support calves from day one through weaning. From Sync Paste at birth, to daily Surveillance Calf in milk, to Immu-Lyte Black Label during periods of dehydration and stress, each product works together to promote gut health, strengthen immune function, support rumen development, and help calves thrive while they’re on milk.

Because tomorrow’s performance starts with today’s nutrition. https://bit.ly/4eGBmzY

Weaning stress doesn’t have to mean lost performance. Feed TomaHawk iL to support gut integrity, liver health, and immune function so calves can stay eating, growing, and performing through the weaning period. Healthy calves today. Better performance tomorrow. https://bit.ly/3Q6PiuS
