What Level of Bacterial Contamination is "Normal" for Colostrum?

The January issue focus is on bacterial contamination in colostrum. 

The key points are:

• ·         Why do we care about bacterial contamination of colostrum?
• ·         So, what are realistic, cost-effective goals for bacterial contamination levels?
• ·         Are dairies feeding low bacteria count colostrum (less than 100,000cfu/ml)?
• ·         Should we accept failure as “Normal?”
• ·         How to make “Success” the new normal on a dairy.
