Validation of a handheld refractometer to assess Merino ewe colostrum and transition milk quality
Journal of Dairy Science, 2023 : Colostrum quality is generally defined by the IgG concentration in colostrum, and many methods have been used to assess it. Methods to measure colostrum quality both in the laboratory and in the field have been validated in cattle; however, this is ...
