Can be used in the lab or in the field by putting a few drops of liquid onto the prism and reading the scale under ambient light. Fea- tures a 0-32% scale, focusing eyepiece, automatic tem- perature compensation and comes in a hard carrying case. Easy to use. Scores of 22% or higher represent good quality in colostrum. 1-21% readings represent colostrum that can be used for second feedings, and scores below 1% will need to be supplemented. Total solids in milk can also be determined; 12.5% to 13% total solids would be expected in normal milk. 15069-1 Ea $298.22 Measuring the quality of equine and bovine colostrum just got easier Compact, durable and easy-to-use IMMU-PRIME FOR CALVES Sterling Technology Bioactives for newborn calves.
