Changes in the content of immunostimulating components of colostrum obtained from dairy cows at different levels of production.

Published in: Journal of the science of food and agriculture (2018)

The immunostimulating components of colostrum declined rapidly in subsequent milkings or with the increased productivity of the cows. The concentration of IgG was negatively correlated with the performance level of cows, which means that high-producing cows had colostrum with a low concentration of IgG. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.
