Why Colostrum, the "First Milk", is So Important
Newborn babies have weak, underdeveloped immune responses. They must rely upon a gift from their mothers during their first weeks of life - colostrum, which is the special first milk - for protection, against bacteria, viruses and fungi. Colostrum is a source of immunoglobulins, which supply passive immunity to newborns as a defense against infections. Considerable evidence points to immunoglobulins also being active against infectious diarrhea caused by enteric bacteria and against Candida albicans. In fact, colostrum is so important to newborn calves that, if they do not receive it, most of these calves will die within three months of birth.
