Wombaroo Impact Colostrum Supplement 100g

Wombaroo Impact Colostrum Supplement 100g

Impact Colostrum Powder aids the immune function of newborn mammals and marsupial joeys. Colostrum is the first milk produced after birth and contains high levels of immunoglobulins. These are proteins that protect against harmful micro-organisms such as bacteria & viruses. Newborns that don’t receive adequate colostrum have a weakened immune system and increased risk of disease & mortality. Colostrum also contains antibacterial proteins such as lactoferrin and lactoperoxidase which help protect the gut by inhibiting the growth of intestinal pathogens. In most species colostrum is only produced for a few days following birth. After this time intestinal closure prevents absorption of immunoglobulins into the bloodstream. This occurs within about 24 hours in cows, horses, cat & dogs, but may be longer for other species. The presence of milk in the gut can hasten intestinal closure, so we recommend allowing at least 12 hours before feeding milk replacer to maximise colostrum absorption.

•  Contains colostrum powder: a rich source of immunoglobulin which may assist with immunity.
•  Added lactoferrin & lactoperoxidase: which may provide antibacterial activity and intestinal protection.
