[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 14503"] Also, the colostrum the cow produces loses quality each hour after calving. So if you collect colostrum from a cow to use on your calves, you should collect it early after calving, based on an article I read. It said, like being important for the calf to receive colostrum asap, it was also important to collect extra colostrum early - even if it was the cows first milking. Not sure of the process, but aging in the bag loses quality. Jeanne > Colostrum is only produced > precalving, maybe a little in the > first couple of days.
