Relating to or resembling colostrum, the thick yellowish first milk produced by mammals after birth.
From Latin 'colostrum' (first milk), of uncertain origin but possibly related to 'colere' (to strain or filter). The '-al' suffix makes it an adjective form describing properties of colostrum.
Colostral milk is like a superpower potion for newborns—it's packed with antibodies that give babies immunity to diseases their mothers have encountered, making it way more valuable than regular milk in those crucial first days.
