COLOSTRUM SUBSTITUTE.

When do puppies drink colostrum and why do they need it? Colostrum is an immune booster and puppies must consume it within 12 hours of birth.

When puppies fail to consume the colostrum they won’t be able to build the needed passive immunity. The protein-rich colostrum provides passive immunity in dogs and it lasts several weeks and protect them from various infections and diseases.

 The digestive system of a puppy more than 12 hours old cannot mop up the antibodies present in colostrum anymore. When the puppy drinks the colostrum after this time, it won’t be as effective. It is very important the pups consume the colostrum within the first 12 hours so as to start building immunity.

 When a bitch dies during whelping or after whelping what happens to the pups? There are various ways to get the pups nourished. The pups can be fostered by another bitch that whelped at the same period or colostrum can be given using substitutes..

                                 HOW TO COLLECT THE PLASMA.

 1) Blood sample is collected.
 2)The blood is spinned so the plasma is separated.
 3)The decanted plasma is stored by freezing in different tubes.
