Cow colostrum in organic quality

Colostrum is a very rare natural substance which is not available arbitrarily. Thanks to the regulations of Swiss farming in general and the biological ones in particular an excellent quality of the raw colostrum is guaranteed.

The raw colostrum serves to protect newborn mammals and infants at the beginning of their lifes. This very special secretion guarantees for a good start into this existence. Colostrum of cows stands out due to a very high content of immune factors. Since the nascent calf does not get any immune factors intrauterine it is born without ayn active protection. The mothers immune power is concentrated in the colostrum and by suckling gets transferred to the calf. Already within the first 24 hours the content of the immune factors decreases by 90 per cent!

Why can one divert colostrum from the calf with a good conscience and without the off-spring coming too short?

This is only possible with animals like cattle, goats and sheep which have been cultivated for centuries. Their milk yield was increased over decades by specific breeding. In the same manner the amount of colostrum increased correspondingly. The cows of our Swiss suppliers 'donate' an average quantity of approximately 5 litres colostrum-per cow-per year within the first 12 hours after the birth of the calf.

Therefore colostrum is just a very rare substance and organic colostrum even more! We endeavour to produce the QuraDea colostrum products as gently as possible to reach an excellent quality and conserve their bio-active power.
