| Secure! is equal to high quality colostrum and is better
than medium - low quality colostrum. Streamline your colostrum management program while ensuring a minimum of 125g immunoglobulin intake per calf. |
1Adapted from Foley, J. A and D.E.
Otterby. 178. J. Dairy Sci. 61:1033.
2 High quality is considered colostrum from the first milking; medium and poor quality from the second and third milking following calving, respectively.
