Now, he stores good quality colostrum in the refrigerator, but he can only keep it for two days. From an individual-calf perfor mance standpoint, Doelman has had equal results using Colostrux supplement or good quality colo strum. However, his overall suc cess at raising calves is better now because he doesn’t have to feed marginal quality colostrum. Although supplementing colo strum won’t prevent all the prob lems newborn calves experience as a result of fall weather, it can give them a better chance of combating those problems. Increasingly, dairymen are recognizing the importance of assuring calves establish a strong passive immuni ty immediately after birth, say dairy specialists. And knowing that they’ve received adquate immunoglobulins is key to that assurance.
