Why does a USDA license matter when choosing a calf product? For a colostrum replacer to be USDA licensed, it must meet the claim: “To prevent failure of passive transfer.” The number of IgGs present in colostrum replacer is what helps a calf achieve passive transfer.
Stephanie Fieck, brand manager with Milk Products, Inc. tells us about Premolac® PLUS colostrum replacer for dairy calves. With 152.4 grams of immunoglobulins (IgG), this new product is the highest concentration of IgG per gram of powder compared to other USDA-licensed colostrum replacer powder products for aiding in the treatment of failure of passive transfer.
