Colostrum Feeding and Colonic Immune Development
Aug 1, 2018
A calf's colon does more than just handle waste, it's actually a major site of immune development early in life. This study used genome-wide analysis to look at how colostrum...
Delayed Colostrum Feeding and GLP Hormones
Jul 1, 2018
If day-one colostrum feeding isn't hitting the mark timing-wise, this study looked at what actually changes hormonally when it's delayed. Researchers tracked GLP-1 and GLP-2,...
Tube vs Bottle Feeding Colostrum
Feb 1, 2018
Tube feeding vs. bottle feeding is one of those decisions producers make fast in the moment, but this study actually dug into whether the method itself changes outcomes....
Heat Treatment and Colostrum Oligosaccharides
Jan 1, 2018
Heat treatment is a common way to cut bacterial risk in pooled colostrum, but it's fair to ask what else that process might be changing. This study looked specifically at how...
Delayed Colostrum Feeding and Passive Transfer
Delaying that first colostrum feeding doesn't just cost antibody absorption, it changes what's colonizing the gut in those early hours too. This study compared calves fed...
Colostrum Protein Rankings for Calf Health
Feb 1, 2017
Not all proteins in colostrum carry equal weight when it comes to calf health outcomes. This study used a proteomics approach to rank colostrum and milk proteins by their...
Colostrum Replacer Supplementation and Calf Health
Dec 1, 2016
Beyond day-one passive transfer, does continuing to supplement with colostrum replacer actually change health outcomes down the line? This study evaluated how colostrum...
Colostrum Storage and Calf Growth
Nov 1, 2016
Storing colostrum feels like a simple logistics question, but this study looked at whether storage conditions actually change what a calf gets out of it. Researchers tracked...
