LAND O LAKES® Colostrum Replacement

A calf’s immune system is naïve at birth; she requires high-quality colostrum within the first few hours of life to achieve successful passive transfer of immunity through absorption of IgG across the intestinal wall and into circulation.

LAND O LAKES^® Bovine IgG Colostrum Replacer is specially formulated to replace or supplement maternal colostrum as an aid in the treatment of failure of passive transfer. LAND O LAKES^® Colostrum Replacer provides a newborn calf with important antibodies, including immunoglobulin G (IgG), to help develop her immune system.

Great replacement!

We've been using this product for a couple years now and it's great to have on hand when the mothers colostrum doesn't test good enough. We always test the calfs blood for successful passive transfer and even when using this product our calves are off to a great start!
