Biochem Launches ColoImmune for Enhanced Immune Support

Lohne, May 2024. ColoImmune is the newest member to join Biochem’s supplement lineup for pets. This one-of-a-kind dietary supplement features high-quality bovine colostrum ensuring puppies and kittens receive the essential antibodies they need to thrive. ColoImmune is specially formulated to both support the critical early stages of puppies’ and kittens’ lives and  the needs of older or infirm pets.

“We understand the essential role that passive immunity plays in a pet’s overall health,” says Kajsa Noréus, Product Manager for Dietary Feed Supplements at Biochem. “ColoImmune provides essential support during this crucial window, setting puppies and kittens up for a strong and healthy life.”

Puppies and kittens are born with immature immune systems. Colostrum, the first maternal milk, is essential in providing antibodies to fight infections until their own immune systems develop. This means that these newborns need to receive colostrum in a timely manner for the passive transfer of immunity. Failure of passive transfer is a significant threat.

Unfortunately, not all puppies and kittens receive enough colostrum, which can leave them vulnerable to illness. Data show that many puppies and kittens don’t survive past three weeks of age, highlighting the importance of robust immune support during this sensitive period.

ColoImmune can be used as a supplement to maternal colostrum or milk for immune enhancement. More importantly, it can be used as a complete replacement in situations where maternal colostrum is unavailable.

ColoImmune offers a convenient and effective solution, by providing essential antibodies and bioactive compounds derived from high-quality bovine colostrum. Bovine colostrum has been shown to benefit pets of all ages by promoting passive immunity, supporting vaccination response, and supporting overall immune system and gut health. In adult or immunocompromised pets, ColoImmune can also help stimulate the immune system and boost immunity.

“We are committed to developing natural, research-backed products that focus on this crucial time in a pet’s life,” continues Noréus. “Our ColoImmune formula uses carefully sourced colostrum to preserve the integrity of its active ingredients, ensuring a potent and effective supplement. This product is a must-have for any breeder, veterinarian, or pet owner caring for young or vulnerable pets.”

ColoImmune is available in a 450 g canister and features a 24-month shelf life. As a powder, ColoImmune is easily dissolved in water and fed with a bottle or in a drinking bowl and can be used for longer periods.
