[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 619527, member: 5106"] I posted last year about colostrum, and a study about color, density and viscosity not having anything to do with quality or IG's. If I have the energy/ambition I will search for it.. The age of the cow has the most to do with quality that is why when we froze colostrum it was always from older cattle only for many many reasons. I think the main thing effecting the study is that a lot of dairies do not vaccinate because they are in a closed environment, unlike beef . If this was the case with dairy colostrum then my less than 1% fatality rate/year with my dairy calves would have been much greater. I have had this discussion with the good Doc and as usual he rolls his eyes.. The colostrum that you can by from a vet in liquid form is from dairy cows ,it is expensive to say the least ($25/liter) and has higher IG's than the best powdered ..So I guess we are at an impass.. 8) [/QUOTE]
