Colostrum is the breast fluid produced by humans, cows, and other mammals before breast milk is released. It is very nutritious and contains high levels of antibodies, which are proteins that fight infections and bacteria.

Why Is Colostrum So Good for Dogs?

The key components of colostrum’s healing properties: -

Immunoglobulins

Colostrum contains immunoglobulins (also called antibodies). The antibodies in colostrum include IgG, IgM and IgA.

IgG antibodies give puppies and young animals passive immunity. This protects them until their own immune system matures. IgG antibodies can neutralize viruses. IgG antibodies can also fight bacteria and long-standing chronic infections.IgM antibodies are the first antibodies newborns make.

Some bacteria have evolved with surfaces that complement proteins can’t bind to. But IgM antibodies can bind to nearly every surface the bacteria will throw at it. This helps the complement proteins attach and destroy the invaders. IgM antibodies are the first line of defence against viruses too.

IgA is another important class of antibodies. Your dog makes more of these than any other antibody.

IgA antibodies form a lining in the digestive tract. Their job is to coat the bacteria and viruses in the digestive tract, so they don’t enter the body. If a dog doesn’t have enough IgA antibodies, foreign invaders will constantly escape the digestive tract. This will cause chronic diarrhea and bowel inflammation. They can also enter the bloodstream and cause allergy symptoms and chronic inflammation in the organs. It’s critical that dogs have enough IgA stores in their bodies.

Colostrum is collected from cows that are raised and fed on grass pastures year round, enabling them to gain the natural immunity from all seasons and their natural environment. Colostrum is not collected off intensive feedlot farms. It is hand harvested from a very small and select number of family farms. Harvesting this way, local farmers get both the benefit of our production and in return can meticulously collect the excess Colostrum. The high levels of antibodies and growth factors in our products occur naturally and are balanced by nature.
