Trusti Pasteur Pro is a cutting-edge solution for
pasteurising, thawing, and warming or cooling of colostrum milk.
There are multiple reasons for pasteurisation, to improve
the absorption of crucial antibodies in the colostrum, to minimise disease
transfer and to improve storage and handling ability of valuable colostrum.
Bacterial contamination of colostrum inhibits the
calf/lamb/foal/ kid’s ability to absorb critical antibodies into the
bloodstream. Due to the newborn’s immature immune system, the animal is also
more susceptible to disease when exposed to pathogens.
It is well proven that maximising the absorption of
antibodies in the first few hours after birth will result in a healthier and
more productive animal for life.
Bacterial elimination is achieved by heating the colostrum
above the temperature where the bacteria will survive, however if the
temperature is too high or for too long this will result in antibody damage.
Hence the requirement for a lower temperature and longer duration for colostrum
pasteurisation relative to other liquids.
The recommended protocol is 60°C for 60 minutes. If the
temperature is below 59°C there is less effective bacterial kill. At
temperatures over 61°C there is damage to antibodies as well as increased
viscosity of the colostrum.
By eliminating almost all bacteria, this allows better and
longer storage of colostrum, this means refrigeration can be extended from 3
days for unpasteurised colostrum to 8 days for pasteurised colostrum.
By using the Trusti Pasteur to quickly thaw and warm the
colostrum you can ensure your calf receives maximum benefit from your carefully
handled colostrum.
The optimum feeding temperature of colostrum is body
temperature (39°C ), so the calf does not expend energy to warm the colostrum.
The maximum feeding temperature is 42°C to avoid damaging the soft tissue of
the animal’s digestive tract.
The Trusti Pasteur Pro has multiple preset or quick select
programs, a multilingual interface, Wi-Fi software upgrades, automatic/manual
water filling, high-precision thermometers, and an LCD display featuring
progression graphs, this innovative system ensures precision and ease. The
Trusti Pasteur Pro also has a cooling function, and a spacious insulated tub
with a capacity for 8L of colostrum bags (2x 4L, 4x 2L, 8x 1L). Separator rack positions
bags so that water can readily circulate around bags. No fixed plumbing is
required.
LED lights change according to the water temperature
allowing monitoring at a glance:
- BLUE
up to 30°C - GREEN
for safe feeding temperature (30°C to 40°C) - ORANGE
indicates temperature between 41°C and 59°C - RED
indicates pasteurisation temperature of 59.5-60 °C - PURPLE
– during draining - WHITE
– when there is a fault detected
Programme Settings:
- Pasteurise
60°C + Cool to Store (Select if you plan to pasteurise then store the
colostrum in the freezer or refrigerator.) - Pasteurise
60°C + Cool to Feed (Select if you plan to feed the colostrum soon
after pasteurisation. After pasteurisation, the colostrum will be cooled
from 60°C to a warm feeding temperature between 30°C and 40°C, to then
stabilise at 39°C.) - Pasteurise
60°C (Select if you are manually filling your Trusti Pasteur tub with
water OR do not wish the Trusti Pasteur to cool the bags after
pasteurisation.) - Thaw
to Feed (Select when you plan
to feed an animal with colostrum that has been stored in the freezer. The
Trusti Pasteur will warm the colostrum to optimum feeding temperature
39°C.) - Warm
to Feed (Select when you plan to feed an animal with colostrum that
has been stored in the refrigerator.) - Preheat
to 50°C (Select when you wish to advance the heating phase of the
pasteurisation and warming programmes. By preheating the water to 50°C,
and utilising the unique insulative properties of the Trusti Pasteur Pro,
the water will keep warm for a long time) - Maintain
50°C (This programme is very useful if you would like to sequentially
warm many bags for feeding.) - Custom
Programme (Select if you wish to operate your Trusti Pasteur Pro for
warming and heating outside of the above selections. You may select any
temperature in between the incoming water supply temperature and up to
60°C.) - Drain
Water (Select to automatically drain water to the lowest level sensor.) - Clean
(Use this programme for your regular cleaning cycles.)

7 KEYS TO PASTEURISATION SUCCESS
- Test
colostrum with a brix refractometer to identify high quality colostrum.
> 22% indicates high quality and is equivalent to 50g/l immunoglobulins
(antibodies). - The
sooner the cow is milked after calving the greater the antibody level.
After calving, the antibodies are reabsorbed from the colostrum resulting
in 35% less antibodies after 12 hours. - Harvest
cleanly: While pasteurisation achieves approximately a 98% reduction in
bacterial count it is always better to begin with a cleaner product and
create good harvesting habits. - Allocate
colostrum to the Trusti Colostrum bags, record the cow, volume, and date
with a permanent marker and pasteurise within a couple of hours of
harvesting. If unable to pasteurise this soon then refrigerate the
colostrum and pasteurise within a few days. Be sure to record on the bag
that pasteurisation is complete. - It
is important to cool the pasteurised colostrum quickly. Unpasteurised
colostrum can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days,
pasteurised for up to eight days. For longer term preservation, store in a
deep freeze with reliable temperature for up to one year. - The
sooner the calf is fed after birth the better the absorption of antibodies
(within the first hour is best), after 12 hours the absorption rate has
fallen by two thirds. - Equipment
used to feed the calf should be thoroughly cleaned. After making the
effort to optimise the colostrum it is prudent to prevent contamination
with unhygienic equipment.
