Colostrum Challenge

What is the “Colostrum Challenge Guarantee”?

Just like in the case study below, we work with you to determine your current status and then set goals that are specific to your farm. Once we all agree on the protocols and the goals, equipment is setup and training is established for you and your crew.

If your goals are not coming into site within 90 days, we revisit protocols and other possible bottlenecks. If you are not completely satisfied by 6 months, we will refund the cost of the equipment, consumable items, and shipping.

Here’s the Fine Print:

We expect the equipment to be functioning and usable.

CASE STUDY

2,500 Cow Dairy in Central California

OVERVIEW:

Client owned multiple dairies and decided to pick the one with the most issues to test our Perfect Udder® Colostrum Challenge Guarantee.

Their Goals

Improve Blood Serum Levels
Reduce Mortality
To Have the Best Calves out of ALL Their Farms

Our Protocols

Tube Feed 4L of Pasteurized Colostrum to each calf within an hour of birth using one feed tube per calf.
Date Started: June 1, 2019

Equipment Purchased

1 DT30G pasteurizer: so that they could easily handle the heavy days of calving that reach 10-15 calves per day and 1-3 gallons of colostrum per cow.
1 Matilda^®, for reheating bags from the colostrum bank for timely feeding of calves when necessary.
4L Perfect Udder^® Bags
Disposable Perfect Udder^® Esophageal Feed Tubes

THEIR RESULTS:

For the year prior to starting the Colostrum Challenge, the mortality rates on No BS farm averaged 5% with a monthly range from 1-8%. Within 3 months of initiating improved colostrum management, mortality rates dropped to <2% consistently.

Total serum protein was the measurement tool they used to monitor results of each calf between 1-5 days of age. For the 5 months prior to the Challenge, 98% of calves were <5.3g/dL and 99% of mortality was from this group. Only 2% were 5.3-6 and rarely a calf >6g/dL. Once the heat-treated colostrum flowed for 90 days, the results were astounding.

Now, 28% of calves were >6 with only 1% mortality. 33% of calves were 5.3-6 with 0% mortality and what used to be 98% of calves was now down to 39% <5.3g/dL and <2% mortality. They expect to get even better on this farm. NO BS!
