Colostrx LK Colostrum Supplement for Newborn Lambs and Kids – 235 g
Receiving a colostrum feeding as soon as possible after birth is the single-most important step for newborn lamb and kid survival. Colostrx LK is a colostrum supplement and replacer designed for newborn lambs and goat kids. It provides whole bovine colostrum with natural fat, lactose, and antibodies to support energy and immune function during the first hours of life. Colostrx LK maintains the natural colostral fat and does not replace it with animal, coconut, or vegetable oils, ensuring newborns receive the energy they need to maintain body temperature and thrive.
Newborn lambs and kids have limited energy reserves and need colostrum soon after birth to support early immunity. Colostrx LK can be used when maternal colostrum is unavailable, insufficient, or when additional immune support is needed. The bovine IgG antibodies in Colostrx LK help support passive immunity and assist in managing Failure of Passive Transfer (FPT) in newborn lambs and kids.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Colostrx LK used for?
Colostrx LK supplements or replaces maternal colostrum for newborn lambs and kids to support energy and immune function during the first hours of life.
Why is colostrum important for newborn lambs and kids?
Colostrum provides energy, antibodies, and nutrients that help newborn animals maintain body temperature and support immunity.
When should colostrum be fed?
Feed the first colostrum feeding as soon as possible after birth, ideally within the first few hours.
How many times should Colostrx LK be fed?
Feed three times within the first 18 hours of life based on body weight.
What is Failure of Passive Transfer (FPT) and why is it dangerous?
Failure of Passive Transfer (FPT) occurs when a newborn lamb or kid does not receive enough antibodies from colostrum shortly after birth. Without adequate antibodies, the immune system is weak, leaving the animal highly susceptible to infections, illness, and increased risk of death in the first days of life. Colostrum supplements like Colostrx LK provide antibodies and immune support to help prevent FPT and improve survival and long-term health.
Does Colostrx LK maintain natural colostral fat?
Yes. Colostrx LK keeps natural colostral fat and does not replace it with animal, coconut, or vegetable oils, providing the energy newborns need.
