Colostrum powder shows great effectiveness against pathogenic microorganisms and its high concentration of proteins that promote the growth of the organism make it particularly functional. Studies conducted have found that colostrum consumption reduces blood LDL cholesterol levels and endotoxemia, which is due to colostrum’s high immunoglobulin content.

Colostrum-based products aim to protect the body from pathogenic microorganisms that cause diarrheal conditions, promote the development of body growth factors and improve performance in athletes. The improved nutritional value broadens the consumer base as it offers beneficial health benefits.

The innovation of the Operational Plan concerns the way of integrating colostrum, a material that exists in large quantities in animal husbandry and is not utilized by the Greek animal husbandry-dairy industry, initially in fermented dairy products and by extension in pharmaceutical products.
