Feeding colostrum is of utmost importance to optimize the passive immune system of neonatal calves, that is mainly established through the transfer of high amounts of IgG. At least, this has been the dogma for decades. Dr. Steele will make participants of the Veerkracht congress look differently at why we need to feed colostrum. He will elaborate on all the other ingredients in colostrum to support the calf that are at least as important as IgG. All these compounds work together like a finely regulated orchestra to support the survival of the calf, that gets dangerously disturbed by adding antibiotics.
