In this article, we review the benefits of applying bovine colostrum (BC) and lactoferrin (LF) in animal models and clinical trials that include corticosteroid application and psychic stress, treatment with non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and antibiotics. A majority of the reported investigations were performed with native bovine or recombinant human LF, applied alone or in combination with probiotics, as nutraceutics and diet supplements. Apart from reducing adverse side effects of the applied therapeutics, BC and LF augmented their efficacy and improved the wellness of patients. In conclusion, LF and complete native colostrum, preferably administered with probiotic bacteria, are highly recommended for inclusion in therapeutic protocols in NSAIDs and corticosteroid anti-inflammatory, as well as antibiotic, therapies. These colostrum-based products can also be of value for individuals subjected to prolonged psychophysical stress (mediated by endogenous corticosteroids), especially at high ambient temperatures (soldiers and emergency services), as well as physically active people and training athletes. They are also recommended for patients during recovery from trauma and surgery, which are always associated with severe psychophysical stress.

“…Bovine colostrum can be exploited as a feed additive in poultry, particularly in broiler chickens, to maximize protein quality and body weight and to decrease feed cost. A supporting study that indicates that BC can be used be as an alternative to poultry feed to enchase the bodyweight of broiler chickens was conducted by Afzal et al [ 27 ]. Broiler chickens ( n = 192) of 3 days were supplemented with basal diet as control and BC at different levels (1%, 1.5%, and 2%/kg) and assessed daily for body weight and mortality.…”

“…The isolated, purified, or transformed constituents from BC are further exploited as a functional ingredient in the manufacture of a wide range of dietary supplements with many medicinal uses [ 24 , 25 ]. Recently, the approaches of exploring BC-based feed for feeding fish [ 26 ], broiler chickens [ 27 ], and birds [ 28 ] have been reported in the literature, and it has been demonstrated to be successful in delivering a suitable high protein content for overall body composition. Scientific evidence from placebo-controlled clinical trials indicates that BC components have a wide range of pharmacological uses in the prevention and pretreatment of acute and chronic diseases [ 29 , 30 ].…”

Insights into the Research Trends on Bovine Colostrum: Beneficial Health Perspectives with Special Reference to Manufacturing of Functional Foods and Feed Supplements

Bovine colostrum (BC) is the initial mammary secretion after parturition, which is nature’s bountiful source consisting of nutritional and bioactive components present in a highly concentrated low-volume format. All mammalian newborns require colostrum to enhance physiological processes such as lifelong immunity, gastrointestinal development, and resistance to microbial infections. The genetic, environmental, and processing methods can all have an impact on the biochemical contents of BC and its supplements. BC and its derivatives have been intensively researched for their potential use in functional foods, medicines, and animal feed. Evidence from clinical studies suggests that BC products are well-tolerated, nontoxic, and safe for human ingestion. Functional foods, feed, and pharmaceutical formulations based on bovine colostrum are playing noteworthy roles in the development of innovative products for promoting health and the prevention of chronic illnesses. This systematic review sheds light on recent research on (a) the effects of processing techniques on BC components, (b) emerging techniques used in the isolation and identification of novel components, (c) BC-based functional foods for human consumption and animal feed supplements, and (d) the role of BC in current drug delivery, as well as future recommendations.

“…In the last decades, several nutraceuticals, including BC, have also been used in the zootechnical field to increase the immune status [ 37 , 38 , 39 ], to reduce the incidence of some pathologies and the mortality [ 40 , 41 , 42 ] and to improve the productive performance of various livestock animals among which pigs [ 43 ], broilers [ 44 ], lambs [ 20 , 45 ], and calves [ 46 ].…”

Bovine colostrum (BC) is rich in nutrients, antimicrobial, and antioxidant factors; for these reasons, it has been used as supplement in animal nutrition. However, its possible effects on meat quality have not been studied yet. Thirty-nine New Zealand White rabbits (n = 13/group) were assigned to three groups and fed until slaughter with a commercial standard diet, control group (C), and C supplemented with 2.5% and 5% (w/w) of BC (BC-2.5 and BC-5 groups, respectively). After slaughtering, the effect of dietary supplementation on microbiological and chemical characteristics of the rabbit loins was evaluated at 48 h postmortem (D0) and after 3 (D3) and 8 (D8) days of refrigerated storage. Results showed no difference in the microbiological parameters. In the supplemented groups, TBARS and TVBN values were lower and higher than in the C group, respectively (p < 0.01), and their fatty-acid profile was increased in SFA and decreased in MUFA (p < 0.05). In conclusion, research must continue to examine in depth the possible effects of BC byproduct reuse in animal nutrition on meat quality (e.g., antioxidant power, and physical and sensory characteristics).
