Colostrum in dog food

Medium quality ingredient - nutritionally adequate and unlikely to cause any problems e.g. fillers etc

Colostrum is the form of milk produced by the mammary glands of all mammals around the time of birthing. In order to start the baby off on the right foot, colostrum is rich in antibodies, vitamins, minerals and amino acids. It is widely regarded as a very healthy supplement for both humans and animals. Colostrum for pets is harvested from dairy cattle.

Although colostrum is lower in lactose than normal milk, it nevertheless contains some and should therefore be avoided if your dog is dairy intolerant.
