Cow colostrum provides the calf with the same thing as human colostrum provides babies. Health benefits include a better immune system and immediate health.

Cow colostrum would provide about the same thing (though perhaps different nutrients considering the difference in cow and human babies) to its young that human colostrum would. It is widely questioned whether cow colustrum has any real benefit to humans though some athletes have attempted to use it to improve performance.

The benefits of colostrum on humans are unknown. Colostrum has a high hormonal content that affects the calf, its affect on humans could be adverse.
