Colostrum milk at 48 to 72 hours after parturition may be higher than in colostrum or in late-lactation milk. Fat concentration in bovine colostrum is extremely variable. Newborns have very immature and small digestive systems, and colostrum delivers its nutrients in a very concentrated low-volume form. It has a mild laxative effect, encouraging the passing of the baby's first stool, which is called meconium. This clears excess bilirubin, a waste-product of dead red blood cells, which is produced in large quantities at birth due to blood volume reduction from the infant's body and helps prevent jaundice. Colostrum is known to contain
Invariant of a binary form 4"c""a" − "a""d" of degree 4. The algebra of covariants is generated by the discriminant, the form itself (degree 1, order 3), the Hessian "H" (degree 2, order 2) and a covariant "T" of degree 3 and order 3. They are related by the syzygy 4"H"="Df"-"T" of degree 6 and order 6. The algebra of invariants of a quartic form is generated by invariants "i", "j" of degrees 2, 3. This ring is naturally isomorphic to the ring of modular forms of level 1, with the two generators corresponding to the Eisenstein series "E" and "E". The algebra of covariants
