“…An inhibitory effect of prolactin release by calcitonin has also been reported [277]. Although calcitonin has been mentioned in many publications as present in bovine colostrum [38,84,165,184,289] and milk [271], the authors could not find any research showing its concentrations in cow colostrum or milk, as opposed to human and rat milk [276,277,290]. Growth hormone (GH) b (ng/mL) 0.17-1.4 <0.03-<1.0 [11,[296][297][298] Growth hormone-inhibiting hormone (GHIH) c (ρM) ?…”

“…Proline-rich polypeptide (PRP), also known as colostrinin, is a complex of at least 32 peptides present in colostrum of various species, including bovine [183,184]. PRP is probably derived from the partial proteolysis of annexin and β-casein [184,185]. The therapeutic effects of PRP have been studied in laboratory animals and in humans, particularly in patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease [185,186].…”

“…Lactoperoxidase (LPO) is one of the most frequently mentioned enzymes in the literature. It is a glycoprotein, a member of the family of haem peroxidase enzymes, secreted by the mammary gland into colostrum [84,184]. The main biological function of LPO is to defend against microorganisms by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS), which is effective against a wide range of bacteria but also has antiviral and tumoricidal activities [180].…”

Colostrum contains macro- and micronutrients necessary to meet the nutritional and energy requirements of the neonatal calf, bioactive components that intervene in several physiological aspects, and cells and microorganisms that modulate the calf’s immune system and gut microbiome. Colostrum is sometimes mistaken as transition milk, which, although more nutritive than whole milk, has a distinct biochemical composition. Furthermore, most research about colostrum quality and colostrum management focuses on the transfer of maternal IgG to the newborn calf. The remaining components of colostrum and transition milk have not received the same attention, despite their importance to the newborn animal. In this narrative review, a large body of literature on the components of bovine colostrum was reviewed. The variability of these components was summarized, emphasizing specific components that warrant deeper exploration. In addition, the effects of each component present in colostrum and transition milk on several key physiological aspects of the newborn calf are discussed.

Most research on colostrum quality and colostrum management focuses on maternal IgG transfer to the newborn calf. However, in addition to being a source of antibodies, colostrum has other components that influence passive immune transfer, nutrition, gut maturation, and thermoregulation. In this review, the constituents in the bovine colostrum, as well as their variation, are explored and it is discussed the biological role of colostrum on the newborn calf. Protein is the nutrient in higher concentration and fat is the nutrient with the most variation. There is a pronounced amplitude in the total solids content of colostrum, but the average concentration does not vary much between studies (24.7%). Bovine colostrum major components can vary with several factors, such as the region, season, breed, dry period length, and nutritional aspects of the dam. Bioactive components, cells, and microbiome variability are less understood, besides IgG. Regardless, they play crucial distinct roles in the physiological development of the newborn. However, a multi-interactive effect between these components, cells, and microorganisms is more likely to occur. Recently researched components in colostrum like miRNA, nucleo(t)sides, the milk fat globule membrane, oligosaccharides, minor proteins, and the microbiome are examples of promising interest areas of study.
