[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 531321, member: 6198"] i would have a bag of good quality powder colosrtum on had at any time during the calving season. Just never know when a problem might come up. If it has less than 100 grams of Immugloblulins you will need more doses. By the way they come in single dose packages When this heifer calves give it some. The cow will have nothing good left in the way of antibodies. Colostrum, powder or fresh, works best 0-6 hours after being born with second feeding within the twelve hour mark. After 18-24 hours the absoprtion of colostrum is very little if nothing at all. Total amount is 2% of its body weight. A calf is born with zero immunity. It gets it immunity from the colostrum. This is why timely ingestion is so important, as well as a relatively stress free birth and mothering up. [/QUOTE]
