If they won't accept the bottle, tube them with an esophageal feeder. Colostrum comes in packets of dried powder, so read the instructions on the packet to determine how much water is needed for one packet of dried colostrum.
Why does colostrum run out after 36 hours?
Because the baby will have learned how to nurse better by then, and colostrum is too concentrated to be healthy for an infant who is beginning to drink more milk. This is not the physiological reason for the colostrum to run out, but I don't think that's what you were asking.
