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
Blake canonical form Blake canonical form In Boolean logic, a formula for a Boolean function "f" is in Blake canonical form (BCF), also called the complete sum of prime implicants, the complete sum, or the disjunctive prime form, when it is a disjunction of all the prime implicants of "f". The Blake canonical form is a disjunctive normal form. The Blake canonical form is not necessarily minimal, however all the terms of a minimal sum are contained in the Blake canonical form. It was introduced in 1937 by Archie Blake, who called it the "simplified canonical form"; it was named in honor of
