AgriLabs is proud to announce the introduction of Colostrx(R) Plus, a colostrum supplement for dairy and beef cattle. The Colostrx Plus supplement has an industry-high level of globulin protein of 55 grams.
“Already the sole U.S. Colostrx distributor, AgriLabs is excited to own this time-tested brand and reformulate it to better meet real-world needs,” says business unit manager David Zehendner. “Beef and dairy producers have trusted Colostrx to deliver the globulin proteins calves need for a good start. Now, Colostrx Plus delivers 64 percent more globulin protein, along with the consistent quality and reliable availability that comes from being manufactured in the United States.”
Colostrx Plus, which is specially formulated for newborn beef and dairy calves, provides the most disease-fighting globulin protein of any colostrum supplement. It is recommended as an aid in avoiding passive-transfer failure and maintaining intestinal health when fed within 24 hours of birth. Now manufactured in the United States, Colostrx Plus is available exclusively from AgriLabs.
Colostrx Plus is available in convenient single-dose, 16-ounce foil packets. They are easy-to-open and easy-to-mix in lukewarm colostrum, liquid milk replacer or water. Colostrx Plus contains 55 grams of globulin protein, derives its improved potency from the same source that enriches natural colostrum and, like the original, contains whey.
In a perfect world, maternal colostrum would be all that a calf requires in its first day of life, but, in reality, many calves don’t get what they need from their dams for a variety of reasons.
* Maternal colostrum varies widely in globulin content, with studies showing that nearly 20 percent of dairy cows have inadequate levels.
* Problems arise if the calf is unable or unwilling to suckle.
* A dam’s mothering instincts can be poor or she might be undernourished.
* High pathogen levels can be present in the calf’s environment.
* Exposure to inclement weather after birth can increase stress.
“If a calf fails to receive adequate globulin protein levels within 24 hours of birth, passive transfer fails, leaving the calf vulnerable to scours and other serious health challenges,” reports Roger Winter, technical services veterinarian for AgriLabs. “In these cases, supplementation with Colostrx Plus provides essential proteins to boost the globulin protein levels of these vulnerable newborns, which increases the likelihood of passive transfer.”

Also made out of blood which they don’t tell you until it shows up. I personally don’t feed my herd products from meat packing places. It has to say colostrum or milk for me. I think it’s important to know.

I was told that Colostrx plus was safe to give to my newborn, baby. I am unable to breast feed her, and the herb lady told me this would be best for his stomach. Better than any formula on the market. Any body hear this before? When I purchased it from the feed store they asked if this was for my baby, and they didn’t look surprised when I told them that it was.
Thanks,
