Check and identify
Check colostrum quality, then record its origin, date and test result on the bag.
Fill and process
Fill ColostroBAG bags using the BagFiller, then start the appropriate programme in the unit.
Store and prepare
Organise your cold-stored reserve. Thaw and warm a bag before feeding when needed.
