Colostrum
Replacer
It is critical to the health
and survival of the new borns
that they receive adequate
colostrum . If the dam dies or is
without colostrum then a
substitute colostrum must be
used.
To be effective the amount of
colostrum provided to the kid
must be sufficient. It must also
be given shortly after birth
Although the 'exact' amount of
time the kid can absorb the
antibodies from the colostrum is
not know for sure it is suspected
that an adequate amount of
colostrum needs to been given to
the kid within the first twelve
hours after birth.
An effective choice for
colostrum replacement is:
10-15 cc IMMUNO-G
mixed with
15cc REBOUND
This mix is given to the kids
at least THREE times in the first
12 hours of life. Personally we
continue to give the Immuno-G and
Rebound for the first 24 hours
since it is not known FOR SURE
just how long the antibodies are
absorbed through the gut.
*****************************
We use these products at
TRI-QUEST and have since the
early 1990's when we field tested
these products on 80 half blood
boer doe and buck kids with 100%
successful results.
Because it is important that
the new born kid consumes it's
full portion of the IMMUNO-G and
REBOUND we mix these two product
with just enough milk, milk
replacer or warm water to allow
the kid to suck them through the
nipple. If the kid is still
aggressively wanting to nurse
after consuming its portion of
'colostrum replacer' we then
allow it to drink the balance of
its milk or milk replacer
portion.
The 'colostrum replacer' is
fed again at the next scheduled
feeding and is given a minimum of
three times in the first twelve
hours after birth.
We continue giving the REBOUND
at the rate of 10cc 3x a day for
the next couple of days and then
at the rate of 5cc 3x a day for
the next day or two.
Please Remember: HOMEMADE
'colostrum substitutes'
containing sugars, syrups, oils
and raw eggs do not contain
passive IgG's and therefore DO
NOT support the immune system.
Furthermore, the feeding of raw
eggs gives rise to the
possibility of salmonella
infection, which can be DEADLY to
the newborn.
Personal Note
Think of Colostrum as a TWO
PART PRODUCT, the first being the
IgG's, which the Immuno - G
provides and the second Calories
/ Energy, which the Rebound
provides.
Because the Rebound in a very
bio-available FOOD source it is
wonderful to use on any sick or
debilitated animal. It has proven
to be especially good to use in
providing supportive care to
goats that have gotten down with
anemia from heavy parasite
loads.
ONE 250 cc bottle or Immuno -G
along with ONE quart of Rebound
will supplement five kids.
Personally, we like to
continue to give the Rebound for
six days.
15cc in each bottle four times
a day for days 1 and 2
10 cc in each bottle four
times a day for days 3 and 4
5cc in each bottle four times
a day for days 5 and 6
After day six, unless there
are unusual circumstances, we
discontinue the Rebound in the
milk or milk replacer.
Feeding this 'extra' amount of
Rebound will mean that the quart
of Rebound will cover only FOUR
kids.
