Colostrum meter | Refractometer

Digital Refractometer 0-85% (Colostrum Quality Measurement).

This digital refractometer has specifications that rival many
laboratory models. The analysis results appear on
the screen within seconds. Temperature compensation occurs over a wide range.
Manual temperature correction, or an external water bath for
temperature control, is unnecessary because both the ambient temperature and the
sample temperature are measured. The titanium sample holder is housed in a
chemically resistant plastic casing. Calibration is automatically
performed with water. The instrument turns itself off to extend the battery life.
Measurement range: 0-85% Brix.

Colostrum Quality Measurement
A good start for the newborn calf depends on the quality of the
first colostrum. The colostrum meter is an excellent tool to determine the density and thereby
the quality of the colostrum.

Main features are:
LCD with two levels
Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC)
Easy installation and storage
Battery operation with low power indicator (BEPS)
Automatically turns off after 3 minutes of non-use.

You measure the Brix percentage and based on that, the amount of Immunoglobulin G (iGg) can be read.

% Brix	iGg	Value	Applicability
>27	>100g/L	Excellent	First colostrum feeding
>22	>50g/L	Good	First colostrum feeding (minimum 2 liters)
18-21	30-50g/L	Moderate	Second colostrum feeding
<17	<30g/L	Poor	3rd or subsequent colostrum feeding
