It approximates the nutrients in colostrum, but
without the antibodies. It makes a good first meal for kids
that have no colostrum source.
1 pint milk
1 beaten egg
1 tablespoon fruit pectin
1/2 teaspoon cod liver
oil.
This mixture can be frozen for future use.
The sugar in corn syrup and honey is not glucose
or lactose. Lambs, calves and kids do not have maltase,
sucrase, or other sugar enzymes other than lactase in their little
guts. Thus, using corn syrup and honey is not very helpful.
Pectin, used for jelly making however, is about 1/2 by weight
dextrose and the other half a sugar polymer that will break down to
glucose. Eggs, by the way, have quite a few antibodies for
the baby chicks-maybe even ones against salmonella and E. coli, so
adding eggs gives you more than just nutrition.
