| description | Colostrum, the first fluid secreted by the mammary glands of mammalian mothers, contains essential nutrients for the health and survival of newborns. Bovine colostrum (BC) is notable for its high concentrations of bioactive components, such as immunoglobulins and lactoferrin. Despite dogs being the world’s most popular companion animals, there is limited research on their immune systems compared to humans. This summary aims to consolidate published studies that explore the immune benefits of BC, focusing specifically on its implications for dogs. |
