{"product_id":"wombaroo-impact-colostrum","title":"WOMBAROO IMPACT COLOSTRUM","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eImpact is a food supplement made from bovine colostrum powder, with added lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase, whey protein, omega-3 \u0026amp; 6 fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. Feed Impact to newborn mammals as a colostrum replacement or to marsupial joeys as an adjunct to milk replacers.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAbout Colostrum\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eColostrum is the first milk produced after birth. It is high in protein, much of which is immunoglobulin. Immunoglobulins provide immunity against pathogenic micro-organisms such as bacteria and viruses.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMost animals are born without immunity and initially acquire their immunoglobulins from colostrum. Newborns that do not receive colostrum have a weakened immune system and increased risk of infection and mortality. Colostrum contains other proteins with antibacterial activity such as Lactoferrin, Lactoperoxidase and Lysozyme. These act to inhibit the colonisation of the intestine by pathogenic\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003emicro-organisms via the following mechanisms:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLactoferrin binds iron and facilitates its uptake from the intestine2. Due to its iron-binding capacity, lactoferrin inhibits many micro-organisms that require iron for growth3,4. When Lactoferrin is hydrolysed by gastric enzymes it releases a peptide that is highly bactericidal to several species of pathogenic organisms5.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLactoperoxidase is bacteriostatic to a wide range of bacteria in the presence of thiocyanate and\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ehydrogen peroxide-generating enzymes in the gut3,4.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLysozyme destroys bacteria by hydrolysing the muramic acid in the bacterial cell wall3,4.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn most mammals, colostrum is only produced for a short time after birth. During this time the intestine is open to the absorption of the large immunoglobulin molecules. However, intestinal closure occurs rapidly as the mammary secretions change from colostrum to normal milk1. This occurs within 24 hours in cows, horses, cats \u0026amp; dogs, 2 days in guinea pigs and 3 days in pigs. Feeding milk too early may hasten intestinal closure, and thus reduce the ability to absorb immunoglobulins.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBovine colostrum provides immunity against a wide range of pathogens that are present in the environment\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e(eg rotavirus, which can cause acute diarrhoea6). As these pathogens are common to most animal species, bovine colostrum has been successfully used to improve the immune response in a diverse range of\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003enewborn mammals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFirst 12 hours after birth | Prepare an Impact Dose as described above and feed å_ of the amount every 2 hours.
