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.

When does the colostrum come in on a horse?

There is no magic time. Some mares may start to drip in the last month or so. But usually once the mare starts to drip or 'wax up' birth will follow with in 24 to 48 hours. If you notice that she is losing too much milk you should contact your vet. She may run out of colostrum before the birth and it is vital that the foal gets colotrum.* *Interesting fact:There is a window of oppotunity for the foal to get the colostrum. If he does not get the colostrum within 18 hours or so his GI tract will not absorb it which will greatly diminish his chance of survival.

Is it ok to milk a cow right after birth?

Yes, if you intend to store the milk as colostrum. For the next 24 to 36 hours she will be producing colostrum, and this is not really the kind of milk that you would like to drink. Colostrum is best for baby calves, and should be collected and stored (frozen in the deep freeze) for any orphaned calves that need it ASAP.

How long must a calf be breast feed?

A calf should get colostrum within an hour or so after birth. Colostrum in the cow will be produced for the next 24 to 48 hours after the calf is born, but at eat time frame, the quality of the colostrum decreases, which means that if the calf receives its colostrum after 24 hours or more, its ability to survive, and grow into a healthy animal will be diminished. It's CRUCIAL that the calf gets his colostrum within a couple hours after birth, if he is not up and suckling (or has not been up and suckling) by the time you next check on mom and calf.
