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
Prenex normal form Prenex normal form A formula of the predicate calculus is in prenex normal form if it is written as a string of quantifiers and bound variables, called the prefix, followed by a quantifier-free part, called the matrix. Every formula in classical logic is equivalent to a formula in prenex normal form. For example, if formula_1, formula_2, and formula_3 are quantifier-free formulas with the free variables shown then is in prenex normal form with matrix formula_5, while is logically equivalent but not in prenex normal form. Every first-order formula is logically equivalent (in classical logic) to some formula in prenex normal
