THE TRUSTED BRAND FOR COLOSTRUM SUPPORT.
Sometimes momma needs a little help. Calves face the risk of Failure of Passive Transfer when they receive inadequate colostrum. Beef calves of first calf heifers and those that experience stress during birth are strong candidates to receive an approved colostrum supplement like Colostrx CS. It is estimated as many as 30% of beef calves suffer from FPT.
WHY THE NEED FOR SPEED? The timing of colostrum intake is critical to effective transfer of passive immunity. Within six hours of birth, the openings in the lining of a calf’s intestines that are large enough to admit large IgG proteins begin to close, a process known as “gut closure.” At the six hour mark, the amount of antibody proteins the gut will absorb is reduced by one-third; at 24 hours, the gut absorbs about 10% of what it would have absorbed within one hour after birth.
COLOSTRX FEATURES AND BENEFITS • USDA licensed – 1. Aids in the prevention of Failure of Passive Transfer of Immunity 2. Aids in the prevention of death associated with E. coli K99 • 100% bovine colostrum origin; no blood serum • 100% from USDA inspected, American herds - all batches traceable to their herd origins • Rigorously tested and certified disease-and-antibiotic-free • Contains colostral fat, proteins, carbohydrates and bioactives • Three year shelf life
TIMING IS EVERYTHING. THE SOONER THE BETTER, IS THE RULE OF THUMB WHEN IT COMES TO COLOSTRUM SUPPLEMENTS. The first 25 attendees to visit our booth during the NCBA Trade Show on Friday morning will receive a FREE 3 quart calf bottle.
