"Weigh colostrum"

The colostrum densimeter is an essential tool for breeders who want to ensure the best possible start for their calves. This precise and easy-to-use device is designed to measure the density of bovine colostrum, providing a quick and reliable indication of its quality. Made from durable materials, it is designed to withstand the harsh environment of a modern farm.

Why is it important to test colostrum?

Colostrum (also known as first milk) is crucial for calves as it contains vital antibodies for the animal's health and growth. The ability to test colostrum allows breeders to ensure that each calf receives quality nutrition that supports its immune system and promotes healthy development.

Using the Device

To use the colostrum densimeter, start by checking that the colostrum is at the correct temperature (20°C).

Then immerse the densimeter tube into the colostrum to allow the device to read its density.

Once the measurement is taken, read the value indicated on the graduated scale to determine the quality of the colostrum.

Usage Recommendations

It is recommended to use the colostrum scale in a clean environment to avoid colostrum contamination.

Also ensure that the colostrum is well mixed and at the recommended temperature to obtain an accurate reading, which is 20°C.

If you have any doubts about the quality of the measured colostrum, consult a veterinarian.
