Wombaroo Impact Colostrum

Supplement to aid the immune function of newborn mammals and marsupial joeys.

Wombaroo Impact Colostrum contains high levels of immunoglobulins and antibacterials such as lactoferrin, lysozyme and lactoperoxidase that provide immunity and intestinal protection to young animals. Impact Colostrum Supplement is made from powdered bovine colostrum with added lactalbumin, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, vitamins and minerals.

Newborn mammals should receive at least 2 doses of Impact within 48 hours of birth.

• First 12 hours: Feed an Impact Dose, as described below. If required, this may be divided over several feeds, spaced 2-3 hours apart. Do not feed milk during this time.
• 12 + hours: Commence feeding milk. Feed a second Impact Dose ensuring at least 2 hours between milk feeds and Impact feeds. Do not mix or feed Impact with milk.
• To make an Impact Dose: Weigh the animal and select the amount of Impact powder from the table below. Mix with the required volume of warm, pre-boiled water to make up an Impact Dose. Prepared Impact may be kept refrigerated for one day, or stored frozen for up to 2 weeks.

Marsupials may be fed as either a daily Maintenance Dose or a short-term Concentrated Dose.

• Maintenance Dose: Add 1g of Impact powder (1 moderately heaped spoon) per 100ml of milk fed, repeated daily as required.
  Use as a preventative measure to provide a constant low-dose of immune support during care.
• Concentrated Dose: Add 5g of Impact powder per 100mL of milk fed. Repeat for up to 5 days, every 4 weeks, as necessary. Ensure joeys are well hydrated prior to feeding.
  Use when animals initially come into care, for sick or stressed animals or just prior to first pouch emergence (Wombaroo Age Factor of 0.6).
