What is Colostimel+ Energy for Calves, Lambs, and Kids (8 packets, 200 g) used for?
Colostimel is a colostrum supplement for calves, lambs, and kids that helps strengthen their general and local natural defenses. Newborns that do not receive a sufficient amount of high-quality colostrum in the first hours of life will be unable to defend themselves properly against infectious agents until they are 2 to 4 weeks old; in such cases, any prior vaccination of the mother will have no effect. Furthermore, at birth, an intestine with limited colonization by non-pathogenic flora is all the more susceptible to early infection. Energy intake is also necessary to strengthen the body’s defense capabilities.
Colostimel helps strengthen both general and local natural defenses.
- It provides both rapidly absorbed immunoglobulins—7 g of active IgG guaranteed in 200 g of powder—and IgA.
- It provides lactic acid bacteria that protect the intestinal mucosa (Enterococcus faecium).
- It provides the energy needed to strengthen the body’s defenses.
Calves, lambs, and kids that have not received an adequate amount of high-quality colostrum in the first hours of life are particularly vulnerable. Colostimel + Energy is recommended for these young animals to compensate for the lack of maternal colostrum.
In the event of infections or periods of stress, the immune defenses of young animals may be weakened. Colostimel + Energie can be used to support their immune system during these critical periods.
Preventing infections is essential for ensuring the growth and health of calves, lambs, and kids. By including Colostimel + Energie in their diet, you help reduce the risk of infections and ensure their well-being.
The well-being of young animals, such as calves, lambs, and kids, is essential to ensuring their future growth and health. One of the crucial elements in the first hours of their lives is colostrum, which provides antibodies and essential nutrients to strengthen their immune systems. However, these young animals sometimes do not receive enough high-quality colostrum, which can compromise their ability to defend themselves against infections.
Colostrum is the first maternal milk, rich in antibodies and essential nutrients. Colostimel + Energie contains skimmed colostrum from the first milking, ensuring a high-quality source of maternal antibodies. These antibodies play a crucial role in the immune defense of young animals.
Lactic acid bacteria, such as Enterococcus faecium, are beneficial for digestive health. They help maintain the balance of the gut microbiota, which is essential for healthy digestion and optimal nutrient absorption. Additionally, a balanced gut microbiota strengthens the immune system.
Vitamins A and E are important antioxidants that help protect cells from oxidative damage. Furthermore, vitamin A is essential for vision, growth, and development, while vitamin E supports the immune system.
Selenium and zinc are trace minerals that play a crucial role in metabolism and immune system function. They are essential for maintaining robust immunity in young animals.
Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in many bodily functions, including energy metabolism. It also contributes to muscle and nerve health.

How should this product be used?
At birth:
- Calves: 1 dose = 200 g of powder to be dissolved in 1 liter of colostrum or lukewarm water (or milk) (soluble in smaller quantities). Within the first 8 hours of life, administer 1 liter of the reconstituted solution; then, if necessary, repeat once before the animal reaches 16 hours of age (in addition to maternal colostrum).
- Lambs/Kid: 200 g = 1 liter when reconstituted = 5 doses of 200 ml for lambs/kids. Within the first 8 hours of life, give 1 dose of 200 ml, then repeat if necessary (in addition to maternal colostrum).
- Other uses: May also be used when resuming milk feeding after a prolonged episode of diarrhea to repopulate the gut and prevent dietary transition diarrhea (1 dose morning and evening).
