Application Instructions

1. Collect a sample of fresh colostrum at room temperature (approximately 20–22°C) in a clean cylinder or jug.
2. Gently place the Colostrum Densimeter into the sample and allow it to float freely without touching the sides.
3. Read the colour-coded scale at the surface of the colostrum to assess its quality.
4. Feed or store colostrum that falls within the green range, and avoid using poor-quality colostrum for first feeds where possible.
5. Clean and dry the densimeter thoroughly after each use.

Item Description

The Colostrum Densimeter is an essential calf-rearing tool designed to assess the quality of fresh colostrum by measuring its specific gravity. This provides an indication of the immunoglobulin (IgG) concentration, allowing farmers to quickly determine whether the colostrum is suitable for feeding newborn calves or storing for future use.
Providing high-quality colostrum within the first few hours of life is one of the most important factors in establishing passive immunity and reducing the risk of disease in newborn calves. By testing every batch of colostrum, the densimeter helps ensure only high-IgG colostrum is fed or frozen, improving calf health, reducing mortality and supporting stronger growth.
Quick and easy to use, the densimeter features a colour-coded scale that indicates whether colostrum is of good, moderate or poor quality. It is an ideal addition to any calving kit and helps farmers make informed decisions about colostrum management during the calving season.
