Newborn calves have only one source of immunity: colostrum. This nutrient-rich first milk is packed with essential antibodies (IgG) to help them fight off infections and build a strong immune foundation.

Without colostrum, calves are vulnerable to disease. Follow our page for expert tips and resources to help your herd thrive from day one!

Unlike humans, calves are born without immunity. 🐄 The cow’s unique placenta blocks antibody transfer during gestation, leaving calves defenseless at birth.

Colostrum is their lifeline, providing:
❗️Immunity through IgG (immunoglobulins).
❗Essential nutrients, growth factors, and energy to support survival and growth.

SCCL's annual clothing and food drive was a big success!

Thanks to everyone's generosity, SCCL topped last year’s results with an outpouring of donations! Our team made two trips to the Clothing Depot before the holidays because our bins were overflowing, and The Food Bank team picked up the rest of the food donations afterwards. With contributions of clothing, food, and cash, plus SCCL matching donations, the grand total in donations was $4,670.00!

A huge thank-you to everyone who participated—your kindness truly makes a difference.

Learn more about the economic implications of inadequate IgG consumption in dairy calves. Lower milk production, increased mortality, and higher treatment costs can all be consequences when calves don't receive sufficient colostrum and can cumulatively lead to an economic loss.

Feeding adequate colostrum can result in healthier calves and increased profitability. Learn how to maximize colostrum intake today and ensure optimal passive transfer!

Cold stress can be a major challenge for newborn calves. When calves are born in cold temperatures, they lose body heat rapidly, making it harder for them to regulate their temperature. Quality colostrum is their first line of defense, supplying not only essential antibodies but also the energy needed to combat cold stress and support early development.

With SCCL’s whole bovine colostrum, you can ensure calves receive high-quality colostrum with everything they need to thrive. Test your maternal colostrum and, if needed, boost it with SCCL colostrum for stronger, healthier calves this season.

Is your colostrum up to standard? High-quality colostrum with an optimal IgG concentration is essential for calves, lambs, and kids. Testing maternal colostrum using an optical or digital Brix refractometer helps you determine whether supplementation or replacement is necessary.

< 22% Brix indicates poor-quality colostrum.
22-25% Brix indicates adequate quality.
> 26% Brix indicates good quality.

If your colostrum measures below 22%, you can replace it with SCCL colostrum for reliable concentration levels. Even colostrum testing at 22-25% can be improved with SCCL colostrum to better meet your animals' needs. Don’t leave it to chance, test your colostrum!

12/04/2024

Timing is everything when it comes to colostrum! Feeding newborns within 2 hours of birth helps by setting up strong protection. Studies show that colostrum given within this window supports your newborns with the best start.

Maximize transfer of passive immunity with high-quality whole bovine colostrum. Learn more on our website.

Ewes with twins, triplets, or more often can't produce enough colostrum for all their lambs. Studies published in the Journal of Animal Science and Small Ruminant Research Journal indicate that up to 15% of multiples don’t survive due to inadequate colostrum, leading to starvation or hypothermia.

To prevent this, make sure every lamb gets colostrum, especially the weakest one, by supplementing with a colostrum replacer. This provides the immunity and energy they need to thrive!

This month, the SCCL team returned for a volunteer shift at the Saskatoon Food Bank & Learning Centre. As it was some of the team's first time volunteering, they started with a tour of the incredible facility, learning about the history of the organization and the many services it provides.

The experience is always meaningful and we’re grateful for the opportunity to support such a vital organization!

11/21/2024

A healthy start for your lambs and kids begins with proper colostrum management. Colostrum on day one provides lambs and kids with essential nutrition to defend against early challenges. When maternal colostrum isn’t available or needs a boost, SCCL’s colostrum products offer the ideal solution to support thriving newborns!

Make sure to feed colostrum as soon as possible after birth. If you don’t have high-quality or adequate maternal colostrum, supplement or replace with SCCL colostrum. Always check for cleanliness and refrigerate if needed to prevent bacterial growth.

Herd colostrum gets fed first, but I don’t have enough and it’s quality isn’t aways good – what are my options now? When utilizing a herd’s available maternal colostrum, the quantity and quality isn’t always sufficient. Enrichment is an excellent way to achieve higher levels of immunity during the first feeding of colostrum! #Enrichment #Colostrum #SCCL #Reel #ReelsInstagram, #ReelsVideo #Calf #Calves #Farm #CalfCare #Farming #Calving

We're excited to share a video featuring Dr. Lucia Pisoni, a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Guelph and a valued partner of SCCL. With a robust background in calf health and gut physiology, Lucia's research focuses on the benefits of extended colostrum feeding during the first three weeks after transportation and how it can impact the instance of diarrhea. Collaboration between academia and industry is essential as it enables us to better support farms and producers in managing their herds, improving overall animal health and productivity with evidence based solutions. Lucia also collaborates with SCCL as a Veterinary Consultant, helping to educate audiences worldwide on the importance of colostrum. Most recently, she presented at the Healthy Calf Conference, showcasing her dedication and expertise in the field. Check out her research on ResearchGate to dive deeper into her impactful work!

One of the most common questions we get is: "How soon should you feed colostrum?" Dr. Ryan Davies explains the importance of timing when it comes to feeding colostrum. The sooner you feed, the better! Newborn calves have a short window of absorption, so it's crucial to give them that first dose of colostrum within the first few hours of life. This ensures they get the best start possible! #ColostrumCare #NewbornCalves #TimingMatters #CalfHealth
