What is Colostrum

 

Colotrum 's Quality starts at the Collection And Continues Through Processing

Colostrum is collected from the first five milkings from selected herds of healthy,pasture fed dairy cows.

Colostrum production and collection from the dairy farm is required to meet very strict quality control parameters and is covered by a registered Product Safety Programme(PSP).

Colostrum is chilled,but never frozen,to maintain integrity and biological activityof the immunoglobulins growth factors and other biological active components.

New Zealand's Colostrum bovine herds are certified by AgriQuality New Zealand as being free from LIST A diseases, such as Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy(BSE),contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia,Footand Mouth Disease,and Rinderpest.

New Zealand's Colostrum is free from the milk production hormone.

Bovine Somatotropin(BST),which is prohibited for use in New Zealand.


New Zealand's Colostrum is pasteurised to the most demanding of International Standards-72 degrees celsius for 15 seconds-to ensure the highest microbiological quality.

New Zealand's Colostrum is processed at a low temperature using unique proprietary technological to ensure the integrity and activity of both immunoglobulins and growth factors.

New Zealand's Colostrum is manufactured using processes and equipment that are accredited to internationally recognised Quality Assurace standards, including ISO 9001 and IS0 14001.Underpinning the Quality Management System is an HACCP-based registered Product Safety Programme(PSP).The PSP incorporates all aspects of risk associated with the manufacture,packaging and storage of Colostrum. This includes the control of people, engineering and maintenance, the environment, manufacturing and product testing, quality control and pathoger management.

New Zealand's Colostrum is low in fat and totally free from additive substances. It does not contain any hormones , such as BST,or any antibiotics, pesticides or undesirable residues.

New Zealand's Colostrum is measured for IgG concentrations throughout the process using both HPLC and RID standard assays to ensure that the high quality of the product is maintained .
