While there are a variety of differences in mammals, their newborns all need the same types of nutrition. There are three type of milk that are produced by female animals. Colostrum, transitional milk, and whole milk. Each type of milk is completely different from the others in nutrition, immunity transfer, fat, and energy. No one type can be as good as the combination of all three.
Colostrum contains critical nutrition, energy, and immunity needed for the newborn to start life.
The absence of colostrum can be deadly in animals, and research has shown even human babies that receive their mother's colostrum have had health benefits over babies that received a universal formula. Transitional milk contains high energy, fat, and nutrients to get and keep the newborn up and healthy. In animals the lack of transitional milk can cause a newborn several problems including weakness, a weakened baby can then be susceptible to secondary infections. Infections can be costly and at times deadly. After hours our automated phone system will record your messages and orders.
