Abstract: The crucial importance of colostration for the health and development of dairy calves is known. Colostrum, the first milk secreted by the cow after calving, is rich in nutrients, growth factors and, especially, immunoglobulins, which provide calves with the passive immunity they need to fight pathogens and prevent disease. Based on this, a literature review was made on the subject, addressing the importance of colostration correctly, the benefits and essential factors of this practice. Correct colostration is a fundamental practice in dairy cattle breeding, providing several benefits for the health, development and productivity of the animals. Proper colostrum management, in terms of quality, quantity, time, and method, is crucial to ensure the survival, well-being, and success of dairy calf rearing.
