Colostrum
The first milk, also known as colostrum, must be of very high quality and contain all nutrients to give the newborn lamb the best possible start.
What does this mean?
Contains ample antibodies (IgGs) to support the build-up of immunity. At least 50 grams of IgG per litre (Brix value of at least 22).
In addition, colostrum naturally contains colostrum fat, which is the most important source of energy for the newborn lamb. Newborn lambs cannot yet regulate their own temperature properly. The lamb’s energy depends to a large extent on this colostrum fat. It contains specific fats that the lamb can convert into heat. The presence of this colostrum fat is therefore essential for the lamb
Finally, colostrum fat contains the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. Colostrum also contains other important nutrients, such as lactoferrin, a protein that stimulates gut development and resistance.
