For calf health and development you can’t beat the goodness of feeding fresh colostrum and whole milk.
But it is important to maintain the integrity of the milk, and that’s why Nutrimol Colostrum Keeper is specifically designed to preserve the benefits of this unique feed source without destroying the essential compounds.
Adding Nutrimol Colostrum Keeper to fresh milk halts the effect of harmful bacterium like salmonella and coliforms while preserving the valuable elements of colostrum.
There are two dosing strategies; one preserves colostrum/whole milk for a period of time while the second option acidifies calf milk to a pH level that helps prevent the spread of Mycoplasma bovis (M. bovis).
Where colostrum or whole milk is required to be fed to calves, DairyNZ recommends taking a precautionary approach against the risk of spreading M. bovis by acidifying milk to a target pH 4.5 for a minimum of eight hours.
Nutrimol Colostrum Keeper has been laboratory-tested to confirm it can achieve the desired pH range. Full instructions are detailed on the label.
