Abstract: Colostrum is the milk secreted by cows in the first few days after natural birth. It is rich in lactoferrin, immunoglobulin, antimicrobial peptides and growth factors and other active ingredients. The special nutritional composition of bovine colostrum endows it with a variety of biological activities, such as regulating immunity, improving gastrointestinal health, improving bone health and promoting wound healing. Therefore, bovine colostrum, as a functional food or functional milk ingredient, has attracted extensive attention. In this paper, the nutritional composition, biological function and processing stability of bovine colostrum were described in detail, aiming to provide reference for the development, application and standardized production of bovine colostrum.

Key words: bovine colostrum, nutrients, biological function, processing stability, bovine colostrum products
