The Dairy Calf and Heifer Association recommends feeding “colostrum equaling 10% of body weight [about 4 quarts for most Holstein calves] in the first 2 hours of life with target serum IgG of >10 mg/mL and total protein of >5.2 g/dL”.
In a calf feeding study filed with the Center for Veterinary Biologics of the USDA, calves fed 3 bags of Calf’s Choice Total Gold achieved average serum IgG levels of 17.2 mg/mL and average serum total protein levels of 5.4 g/dL. These levels were achieved when completely replacing maternal colostrum with Calf’s Choice Total Gold.
