COLOSTRO BALLS

Ensure the Best Start for Your Calves (or lambs)

Give your youngstock the best start in life by ensuring they receive high-quality colostrum with Sweep Colostro Balls. This durable and easy-to-use measuring tool lets you quickly and reliably assess colostrum quality, helping you provide the antibodies calves need to build strong immunity.

Why Choose Sweep Colostro Balls?

• Quick and Reliable Measurement: Simply place the six cylindrical balls in a bucket of colostrum. The higher the quality, the more balls will float to the surface.
• Accurate Results: Unlike other tools that test a single drop of colostrum, this method tests the entire bucket, ensuring dependable results.
• Easy to Clean and Reuse: After use, rinse the balls with warm water, and they’re ready for the next test.

Why is Colostrum Quality So Important?

Calves are born without antibodies and rely on colostrum to build their passive immunity. High-quality colostrum helps protect against illnesses like Cryptosporidium, Rota-Corona Virus, and respiratory issues, ensuring stronger, healthier calves with better immune systems.

What If Colostrum Quality is Insufficient?

Monitoring colostrum quality regularly allows you to address potential issues in your herd. Poor-quality colostrum may indicate problems in the cow’s transition period, such as imbalances in minerals or excessive protein in the diet. Consult your feed advisor or veterinarian to make necessary adjustments for optimal colostrum production.
