Colostrum is good for calves
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. - Many
dairy farmers have found that
colostrum is an excellent and low
cost source of nutrients for raising
young calves.
This “first milk” that cows
produce after living also contains
valuable antibodies that are
passed on to calves.
According to Dr. Donald Ot
terby, animal scientist at the
University of Minnesota, excess
colostrum from the milking herd
may be preserved, either by
natural souring or by treating with
acid and stored for later use.
However, the acids formed during
the fermentation process can
reduce palatability especially
during hot weather and calves
may refuse to drink. Dairymen
experiencing this problem may
want to consider adding sodium
bicarbonate, Otterby says.

researchers added sodium
bicarbonate to colostrum which
had been acidified to a pH of 3.8 to
4.0 to duplicate natural fer
mentation conditions. Bicard
raised the pH level to 6.0.
Consumption indicated that
sodium bicarbonate improved
palatability of the colostrum.
During the three-week trial, calves
fed acidified colostrum refused
almost 50 pounds of liquid. In
contrast, calves fed acid colostrum
neutralized with sodium bicar
bonate refused less than three
pounds of liquid during the trial.
“Before feeding, add bicarb at
about 0.5 to 0.6 lb. per 100 pounds or
about one ounce per gallon of
colostrum,” he says. “But even
with bicarb added, fermented or
acid-preserved colostrum should
not be held for extreme periods.
Three to four weeks is maximum
for most situations.”
