piglets. The product has been gamma irradiated to improve storage

palatable by children.
RESUS is typical of other colostrum and milk products in that it has potential
to become contaminated microbiologically if not stored correctly or if kept
beyond its recommended expiry date.
Digestion irregularities may be seen following swallowing RESUS because
of the high fat content.
EYE:
May cause minor irritation.
SKIN:
Repeated exposure may encourage secondary dermatitis associated with
microbial growth on the skin.
