[AlpacaTalk] Colostrum supplement

As i posted yesterday I am looking to stock up on necessities for
emergencies. After 2 yrs of beyond-my-control neglect of all my animals
I am finally having enough spare minutes and brain cells (what's left
anyway) and trying to get back on track. While I am figuring out the
worming protocol (among other things) that I want to use and getting
what I need to keep that on track, the surprise birth of Merry has me in
the mind of being better prepared (since I have no vet back up).
Luckily she and mama are doing fine (fingers crossed), but my last cria,
about a year and a half ago, was found nearly dead and mom *was* dead
:-(. A friend with goats miraculously had some colostrum in her freezer
and was able to get it over to me, but it took a couple of hours.
Another friend closer by brought over some fresh goat's milk to feed the
cria to try and get it up and going. That baby was taking its bottle
just fine, great sucking; but still only made it 4 days. It was very
very sad....both he and mom were very unique and beautiful. Anyway, I
am thinking I should keep some colostrum supplement on hand.

Do any of you do this and if so what kind do you prefer? Is there
anything I should know to look out for? I am looking for instance at
"Sav-A-Caf" colostrum. It has bovine serum and "high quality" colostrum
from state certified dairy herd. Then there is multi species colostrum
supplement. Would the bovine serum be a problem, or a good thing?

Thanks! Janice
