For many farmers, using a powdered colostrum replacer is a practical and effective choice to ensure calf health right from the start.
Hereโs why powdered colostrum replacers can be a valuable tool:
Consistency: Powdered colostrum replacers offer reliable IgG levels to support a calfโs immune system. Guaranteed quality in powdered colostrum replacers help take the guesswork out of those critical first feedings, ensuring every calf has a strong foundation for health and growth.
Cleanliness: Unlike maternal colostrum, which may carry pathogens, powdered colostrum is pathogen-free from the start, reducing the risk of disease in newborn calves. Heat-treating maternal colostrum can help but requires equipment and careful monitoringโresources not always available on every farm.
Convenience & Timing: Fresh, high-quality maternal colostrum may not always be available right when a calf is born. Powdered replacers are quick and easy to prepare, ensuring calves get the immunity support they need within those critical first hours.
With a powdered colostrum replacer, you can take control over the quality, health status and timing of your calvesโ first feed. IMMUNOLIFE | 200 provides the 200g of IgG in one convenient 750g sachet, so you can be sure the calf receives the antibodies they need to thrive.

Respiratory Disease in Calves: How to Recognize, Prevent, and Treat ๐ฉบ๐
Respiratory disease is a common challenge in young calves, often occurring between 20 and 45 days, as shown by data from nearly 1,000 calves at our Research Facility. Early detection and prevention are key, so here are some tips! โคต๏ธ
Signs to Watch For:
Changes in drinking behavior, like reduced intake or slower drinking, are often one of the earliest signs something is off.
Respiratory scoring can also help spot illness earlyโat our facility, a score of 5 includes elevated breathing rate, drooping ears, and nasal discharge.
Prevention Tips:
โ๏ธ Ensure calves receive adequate colostrum with 200 IgG (give IMMUNOLIFE | 200 a try!)
โ๏ธ Proper vaccination protocol
โ๏ธ Maintain a clean, well-ventilated environment.
โ๏ธ Feed at least 8L/day of high-quality milk replacer.
Check out our resources on calf respiratory health on our website, and work with your vet to develop solid protocols for prevention and treatment.
Protecting your calves from respiratory disease can make all the difference!
