Store & Thaw Colostrum

Description

Store & Thaw Colostrum

The Store & Thaw Colostrum system is a professional solution designed to safely thaw and pasteurise frozen colostrum while preserving vital nutrients and antibodies essential for calf health. Built for efficiency and reliability, the Store & Thaw Colostrum unit helps ensure every calf receives high-quality colostrum quickly and safely during those critical first hours of life.

Featuring a double-walled insulated plastic water bath, the system maintains consistent temperatures for controlled thawing and pasteurisation. The integrated digital thermostat controls the water heater to an accuracy of within 0.3°C, helping protect colostrum quality by preventing overheating.

Designed to handle busy dairy environments, the unit includes 2 stainless steel baskets capable of holding up to 2 x 4 litres of frozen colostrum at a time. A built-in circulator eliminates hot spots, ensuring even heating throughout the thawing process for safer and more consistent results.

The Store & Thaw can also be used for colostrum pasteurisation, operating at 60°C for 60 minutes, making it particularly valuable for farms operating a Johne’s Control Programme where infected colostrum must be replaced with healthy stored supplies.

Quick and efficient thawing helps reduce bacterial incubation time, supporting healthier colostrum delivery and improved calf performance.
