PRODUCTION FAQs
Q: What makes First Milking Bovine Colostrum® different than other colostrum products on the market?
A: First Milking Bovine Colostrum® is collected from the first single milking with the first six hours after birth. The earlier it is collected the more potent the immune factors.
Q: How can other companies claim to have true or first milking colostrum?
A: There are some companies that claim colostrum is any milk-like fluid produced by all female mammals in the first 24-72 hours after giving birth. THIS IS NOT TRUE! After 24 hours, the colostrum is less than 25% of its original potency. This would then require a suggested use of more than four times the amount supplied by genuine First Milking Bovine Colostrum® to achieve the same level of immune support.
Q: What about pasture-fed cows?
A: American dairies produce colostrum throughout the year. The herds that provide colostrum for First Milking Bovine Colostrum® are disease free herds that receive plenty of fresh air and sunshine and are fed a balanced diet. This balanced diet provides the greatest protection for their health. Pasture-fed cows produce fewer immunoglobulins than cows consuming a controlled diet. The immunoglobulins of pasture-fed cows are primarily the result of exposure to bacteria and other antigens from the field, not from antigens that are of importance to humans.
