[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 619480, member: 6198"] Check with your vet HD. When they measure the colostrum they have seen that dairies colostrum is more on quanity of milk than colostrum. It takes more dairy colostrum to make up the required Ig. Beef colostrum is denser. Thicker. Less litres to get the same Ig. NOt that is it better or worse....just that dairy takes more per litre to get the same as a beef cow's You can see it when you milk both animals and compare side by side. Our vet regularly measures the quality, she has some kind of machine that you can bring the colostrum down to have it tested. [url=http://www1.agric.gov.ab.ca/$department/deptdocs.nsf/all/faq8021]http://www1.agric.gov.ab.ca/$department ... ll/faq8021[/url] go half way down there it talks breifly and mentions diferent IG concentration...that is what i am talking about...just did not have the right words. Dairy is less concentrated thus needing more litres beef is more concentrated thus needing less litres to get the same Ig [/QUOTE]
