What Does "Good" Colostrum Look Like?

 

It is always best to measure IgG levels to determine the quality of colostrum.  However, if this is not possible, then examine the consistency of the colostrum.  Usually, good colostrum will be thick and sticky!   Please note though that not all ‘thick and sticky’ colostrum is of good quality.  On the other hand, virtually all thin and watery colostrum has low IgG levels.
