[QUOTE="dun, post: 338837, member: 34"] From Dairy herd alert, Cow Calf Advisor. I would think the importance of colostrum would be as important to beef calves: Colostrum worth $423 per gallon Everyone knows it’s important to feed colostrum to calves. But what is the value? Jerry Olson, technical services veterinarian with Pfizer Animal Health, wanted to find out, so he reviewed all of the research on the topic. He calculated that the collective value of feeding 4 quarts of colostrum in terms of reduced mortality, reduced treatment cost, improved rates of gain and larger-size calves at breeding and improved milk production suggests that one gallon of colostrum is worth about $423.
