Bovine colostrum is significantly more expensive than normal milk because the amount available is simply much smaller – only a few litres of surplus milk can be used to make products for humans for each bovine pregnancy. And the complex processing as well as the further reduction of the raw material (decaseinisation and defatting) also contribute to considerable costs for the later colostrum end products. As a result, the price of a high-quality bovine colostrum product is significantly higher than that of normal milk.
