One of the many benefits of colostrum is that it i One of the many benefits of colostrum is that it is high in fat. When a lamb is born, they rely on brown fat stores to keep them warm until they receive colostrum to warm them up. If we are not feeding them colostrum or delay feeding, they start using these stores up quickly. 

When brown fat stores are used up, hypothermia can set in.
When maternal colostrum isn't available or there's not enough for all lambs, LambGro KidGro Colostrum is here to help. LambGro KidGro Colostrum is a premium colostrum supplement that provides triple benefit protection from hypothermia, disease and lack of immunity to lambs & kid goats. 
Available in a 700 g pouch or 4.9 kg pail from your local Grober dealer.
