Colostrum Colostrum Colostrum (known colloquially as beestings, bisnings or first milk) is the first form of milk produced by the mammary glands of mammals (including many humans) immediately following delivery of the newborn. Most species will generate colostrum just prior to giving birth. Colostrum contains antibodies to protect the newborn against disease. In general, protein concentration in colostrum is substantially higher than in milk. Fat concentration is substantially higher in colostrum than in milk in some species, e.g. sheep and horses, but lower in colostrum than in milk in some other species, e.g. camels and humans. In swine, fat concentration of

By not killing the animal, the slaughter-free milk becomes more expensive than the regular milk, since not only the farmer does not get capital gain by selling the carcass, as he must keep infrastructure and conditions for the animal's retirement.

Unlike conventional milk or even organic milk, slaughter-free milk never involves the killing of the animal, which is the typical case in
