Frequently Asked Questions
About the Colostrum Care Center
How does the Colostrum Care Center work?
There are three water bath zones in one enclosure (about the size of a small horizontal chest freezer) that are always ready to carry out the three tasks of preparing colostrum. After the cows first milking, the colostrum is collected and put into 1-gallon colostrum bags. These bags should be tamper-proof and will securely maintain the integrity throughout the pasteurizing, chilling, storage, rewarming, and feeding process.
How does the Colostrum Care Center store colostrum?
The Colostrum Care Center has a Cooling Zone which contains a chilled water bath of 36°-38°F (2°-4°C) used to immediately chill the post-pasteurized colostrum to stop bacteria growth, then keeps it refrigerated until it’s time to feed to the next calf ‘or’ to put it in the freezer for longer term storage.
How does the Colostrum Care Center pasteurize colostrum?
The Colostrum Care Center has a Pasteurize Zone which utilizes the heat generated from the chilling system to preheat the water. When the pasteurizing cycle begins, it will then utilize an electric element to supply any additional heat needed to achieve and maintain a pasteurizing temperature of 140°F (60°C).e.
How long does the rewarming process take?
The Rewarming Zone will bring the pasteurized colostrum to feeding temperature gently and quickly (15 minutes for chilled and 20-25 minutes for frozen colostrum).
Is the Colostrum Care Center easy to clean?
Yes, the system is designed for easy, thorough cleaning to maintain hygiene and prevent contamination.
Is the Colostrum Care Center energy-efficient?
Yes, it’s designed with energy efficiency in mind, using only the power necessary to maintain optimal temperatures and save on operational costs.

Thanks Calf-Star!
Out with the old and in with the new, updated the milk taxi this week. The old one was used when we bought it and was giving us enough grief with electrical issues that we finally took the plunge on a new one. Happy calves and less headaches. Thanks Calf-Star!
It makes choring a 200 head calf nursery by myself possible.
With the warm weather rolling in it’s time for calf jackets to come off! It’s days like today I am extra thankful we went with the milk taxi. I managed to remove and stack all 100 jackets on the taxi during my evening milk feeding. With the calves distracted with their milk removing the coats was a breeze. Shout...
That makes for happy farmers & calves!
Calves LOVE consistency. They get fed the same amount of milk at the same time every morning and night. We use a milk taxi, which is essentially a pasteurizer on wheels to feed them. Now before someone says oh why don’t they get their mothers milk you greedy farmers?! Don’t you worry, this...
