About Pavo Biest
Newborn foals lack antibodies against infection. It’s not until the foal is 3 to 5 weeks old that it produces enough of these antibodies itself. To bridge this gap healthily, it needs antibodies from the mare’s colostrum.
If a foal hasn’t received colostrum from its mother, or hasn’t had enough, it is vital to administer colostrum as quickly as possible in another way. Antibodies can pass through the intestinal wall only for the first day after birth. Uptake of antibodies is excellent within the first 12 hours after birth but falls to minimal levels after 24 hours. Pavo Colostrum is specially designed for this purpose.
