Colostrum:
Nature's First Food Colostrum
is the first milk produced by mammalian mothers at or
around the time of birth. For most mammalian species
colostrum is well recognized as nature's "first
food." Colostrum is more than milk though. It is one
way in which the mother passes her immune system
"knowledge" on to her newborn. Rich in
antibodies, immune proteins produced by the mother's
immune system, colostrum gives the baby the ability to
recognize and fight the hosts of immune challenges it will
face in the upcoming days, weeks, months and years ahead.
In some species, failure to receive colostrum as a newborn
can even result in death. That's how important colostrum
is to mammals.
Taking
Colostrum to the Next Level: KPx Technology Vita
Flex Nutrition uses only KPx
Technology bovine colostrum in Foal response.
KPx Colostrum is produced, in
the United States, by a team of scientists and dairy
farmers working side-by-side to create what may be the
finest commercial colostrum produced. KPx
cattle are given optimized diets and living environments,
and the harvest period for each cow is stricly regulated.
In FDA and USDA certified facilities, state-of-the-art
filtration technologies are applied, down to the molecular
level, to mine this optimized colostrum for its most
bioactive properties. KPx may be
the finest colostrum produced, and we're proud to say that
we use it in Foal Response.
Bovine
Colostrum for Horses? Yes! Many
of the antibodies found in bovine colostrum are not
species-specific. This means that your horses can see
beneficial results from supplementation with Foal Response.
Studies have shown that bovine colostrum can successfully
replace colostrum for other mammalian species. Although
bovine colostrum cannot replace equine-specific antibodies
to certain pathogens, it appears to stimulate overall immune
competence to a level equal to that of babies that are fed
mother's colostrum. Equines can greatly benefit from the KPx
colostrum found in Foal Response.
Foal
Response: More Than Just Colostrum! Newborn
foals require much more than colostrum for optimal health
and protection. Foal Response has
been formulated to provide newborns with the optimum
Immediate Care Nutrition that they need. Colostrum has been
long-studied for its positive effects on the intestinal
tracts of newborns, but colostrum is only one piece to the
"puzzle." Probiotics have long been recognized as
an important factor in gut health, and Foal Response
provides the live microbials (probiotics) that may be
missing in your foal's gut at the time of birth. The KPx
Colostrum and probiotics found in Foal Response,
along with other essential nutrients, make Foal Response
an ideal supplement for newborns, older foals or weanlings.
For
Breeding Farms and Backyard Breeders Alike Foal
Response is important Immediate
Care Nutrition. Its combination of colostrum, direct-fed
microbials and other essential nutrients can be of great
benefit to every newborn. Every foal, whether born on a
breeding farm or in your backyard barn, faces virtually the
same set of immune and intestinal challenges. Foal Response
is formulated to address and meet these unique needs of the
newborn, and will make an ideal addition to every supplement
cabinet. Whether breeding for sale or personal use, it is
important to start your foal out with the foundations for a
long, healthy and fruitful life. Foal Response
can give the Immediate Care Nutrition that each and every
newborn foal needs to thrive.
