Colostrum management is the single most important management factor in determining calf health and survival. Additional benefits of good colostrum management include improved rate of gain and future productivity. Successful colostrum management requires producers to provide calves with a sufficient volume of clean, high-quality colostrum within the first few hours of life. This article reviews the process of colostrogenesis and colostrum composition, and discusses key components in developing a successful colostrum management program. In addition, the article discusses approaches for monitoring and proposes new goals for passive immunity in dairy herds.
初乳管理是决定犊牛健康和存活的最重要的管理因素。良好的初乳管理的额外益处包括提高生长速度和未来的生产力。成功的初乳管理要求生产者在犊牛生命的头几个小时内提供足够量的清洁、高质量的初乳。本文综述了初乳生成和初乳成分的过程，并讨论了制定成功的初乳管理计划的关键组成部分。此外，本文还讨论了监测方法，并为奶牛群的被动免疫提出了新的目标。
