Its red scale adjusts the colostrum, and its green scale measures the content of immunoglobulines in the colostrum. The Colostrodoser removes the guesswork from feeding colostrum, and suggests a minimum intake to build the optimum possible immunity to diseases in calves. It also identifies colostrum with a low content of immunoglobulines, which should not be offered to calves during their first 24 hours. Shur -Gain points out that up to 15 per cent of colostrum is of inferior quality. And the Colostrodoser identifies colostrum with a high content of immu- noglobulines so that the surplus of this colostrum can be frozen and stored.
