Feeding Frequency and IgG Absorption
More feedings sounds like it should mean more antibody absorption, but this study tested that assumption directly. Researchers compared a low-frequency feeding protocol (two...

Delayed Feeding and Ileum Immune Development
Oct 1, 2021
The ileum is a key site for immune development in a newborn calf, and this study looked at what happens to that development when first colostrum feeding gets delayed. Using...
Colostrum Timing and Gut Microflora
A newborn calf's gut isn't ready to do much on its own at birth, it needs help getting there fast. This study compared calves fed straight colostrum for three days against...
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....
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...
