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
First normal form normal form: our columns contain non-atomic values, and they contain more than one of them. An apparent solution is to introduce more columns: Technically, this table does not violate the requirement for values to be atomic. However, informally, the two telephone number columns still form a "repeating group": they repeat what is conceptually the same attribute, namely a telephone number. An arbitrary and hence meaningless ordering has been introduced: why is 555-861-2025 put into the Telephone Number1 column rather than the Telephone Number2 column? There's no reason why customers could not have more than two telephone numbers, so how many
