प्रश्न
What is colostrum? Write its significance.
उत्तर
The mammary glands secrete a yellowish fluid called colostrum during the initial few days after parturition. It has less lactose than milk and almost no fat, but it contains more proteins, vitamin A and minerals. Colostrum is also rich in antibodies. This helps to protect the infant’s digestive tract against bacterial infection.
