- Colostrum (also known colloquially
as beestings, bisnings or first milk) is a form of milk produced by
the mammary glands of mammals in late pregnancy.
- Most species will generate
colostrum just prior to giving birth.
- Colostrum contains antibodies to
protect the newborn against disease, as well as being lower in fat
and higher in protein than ordinary milk.
- Newborns have very small digestive
systems, and colostrum delivers its nutrients in a very concentrated
low-volume form.
- It has a mild laxative effect,
encouraging the passing of the baby's first stool, which is called
meconium.
- This clears excess bilirubin, a
waste product of dead red blood cells, which is produced in large
quantities at birth due to blood volume reduction, from the infant's
body and helps prevent jaundice.
- Colostrum is known to contain
antibodies called immunoglobulins such as IgA, IgG, and IgM in
mammals.
- These are the major components of
the adaptive
immune system.
- Other immune components of
colostrum include the major components of the innate immune system,
such as lactoferrin, lysozyme, lactoperoxidase, complement,
and proline-rich polypeptides (PRP).
- Colostrum is crucial for newborn
farm animals.
- They receive no passive transfer
of immunity via the placenta before birth, so any antibodies that
they need have to be ingested.
