Refractometer Colostrum Dairy and Equine

Refractometer Colostrum Tester helps farmers and breeders quickly measure colostrum quality for cows and mares. By using the BRIX scale, you can make sure foals and calves receive antibody-rich colostrum during their critical first hours of life.

Why Use a Colostrum Refractometer?

• Fast and accurate: Delivers quick results so you can act immediately.
• Gold standard assurance: Readings above 22% show colostrum is high quality.
• Practical kit: Comes with a carry case, pipette, screwdriver, and instructions.
• Versatile use: Designed for both cow and mare milk.

How It Works

First, calibrate the instrument with distilled water. Next, place two drops of colostrum onto the glass prism. Aim the refractometer towards light, then read the BRIX scale. Good quality colostrum will show between 19% and 24%, while readings above 22% confirm top quality.

When to Use

To give newborns the best start, feed 2 to 4 litres of quality colostrum within the first 12 hours of life. Because colostrum varies from horse to horse, testing ensures your foal or calf receives maximum antibody protection.
