The first milk produced by mammals before the birth of a new offspring is called colostrum. The colostrum has a high amount of bioactive compounds, which gives newborns immunity against various infections and diseases, as it contains antibodies that help in growth. The colostrum of cow has 100 times higher levels of antibodies than regular cow’s milk. Moreover, a special type of bovine colostrum “hyper immune bovine colostrum” has been created by researchers which are produced from cows that have been vaccinated against specific diseases.

Bovine colostrum is rich in vitamins, fats, minerals, growth hormones, carbohydrates, and digestive enzymes. The colostrum from a bovine animal is being used to develop supplements to promote immunity and to improve gut health. To produce supplements, a cow’s colostrum is dried into powder and processed into pills. Cow colostrum is light yellow and tastes like buttermilk.
