Colostrum for dogs

Colostrum for dogs – a source of nutrients from nature

Colostrum, also known as first milk, is the first nutrient-rich milk produced by mammals immediately after birth. It not only provides newborns with important bioactive substances, but is also valued in animal nutrition – especially for dogs with special immune, muscular, or digestive tract requirements.

What makes colostrum so special for dogs?

Colostrum naturally contains a variety of micronutrients such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, and immunomodulatory peptides. These include L-carnitine, L-lysine, natural antioxidants, growth factors, and immunoglobulins. These components are valued in veterinary practice because they can support the normal function of the immune system, muscles, cell metabolism, and intestinal flora.

Colostrum as a supplementary nutrient supplier

With increasing age or during times of increased stress – for example, due to exercise, stress, convalescence, or food intolerances – the need for certain micronutrients can increase. Colostrum also plays a valuable role in cases of nutritional deficiencies or declining nutrient absorption through the intestines: It supplements daily feeding with highly available ingredients that can help support natural vital functions.

Support of the intestine and immune system

Colostrum is often used in animal nutrition when normal digestive tract function and the immune barrier in the intestine are important. Its natural ingredients can contribute to supporting the gastrointestinal mucosa and physiological immune defense. Even for older dogs, whose intestinal activity often declines, an additional supply of bioactive nutrients can be beneficial.
