Pasteuriser Trusti Pasteur Pro NZ AU

Trusti Pasteur Pro is a cutting-edge solution for pasteurising, thawing, and warming or cooling of colostrum milk. 

There are multiple reasons for pasteurisation, to improve the absorption of crucial antibodies in the colostrum, to minimise disease transfer and to improve storage and handling ability of valuable colostrum.

Bacterial contamination of colostrum inhibits the calf/lamb/foal/ kid’s ability to absorb critical antibodies into the bloodstream. Due to the newborn’s immature immune system, the animal is also more susceptible to disease when exposed to pathogens.

It is well proven that maximising the absorption of antibodies in the first few hours after birth will result in a healthier and more productive animal for life.

Bacterial elimination is achieved by heating the colostrum above the temperature where the bacteria will survive, however if the temperature is too high or for too long this will result in antibody damage. Hence the requirement for a lower temperature and longer duration for colostrum pasteurisation relative to other liquids.

The recommended protocol is 60°C for 60 minutes. If the temperature is below 59°C there is less effective bacterial kill. At temperatures over 61°C there is damage to antibodies as well as increased viscosity of the colostrum.

By eliminating almost all bacteria, this allows better and longer storage of colostrum, this means refrigeration can be extended from 3 days for unpasteurised colostrum to 8 days for pasteurised colostrum.

By using the Trusti Pasteur to quickly thaw and warm the colostrum you can ensure your calf receives maximum benefit from your carefully handled colostrum.

The optimum feeding temperature of colostrum is body temperature (39°C ), so the calf does not expend energy to warm the colostrum. The maximum feeding temperature is 42°C to avoid damaging the soft tissue of the animal’s digestive tract.

The Trusti Pasteur Pro has multiple preset or quick select programs, a multilingual interface, Wi-Fi software upgrades, automatic/manual water filling, high-precision thermometers, and an LCD display featuring progression graphs, this innovative system ensures precision and ease. The Trusti Pasteur Pro also has a cooling function, and a spacious insulated tub with a capacity for 8L of colostrum bags (2x 4L, 4x 2L, 8x 1L). Separator rack positions bags so that water can readily circulate around bags. No fixed plumbing is required.

LED lights change according to the water temperature allowing monitoring at a glance:

• BLUE up to 30°C
• GREEN for safe feeding temperature (30°C to 40°C)
• ORANGE indicates temperature between 41°C and 59°C
• RED indicates pasteurisation temperature of 59.5-60 °C
• PURPLE - during draining
• WHITE - when there is a fault detected

Programme Settings:

• Pasteurise 60°C + Cool to Store (Select if you plan to pasteurise then store the colostrum in the freezer or refrigerator.)
• Pasteurise 60°C + Cool to Feed (Select if you plan to feed the colostrum soon after pasteurisation. After pasteurisation, the colostrum will be cooled from 60°C to a warm feeding temperature between 30°C and 40°C, to then stabilise at 39°C.)
• Pasteurise 60°C (Select if you are manually filling your Trusti Pasteur tub with water OR do not wish the Trusti Pasteur to cool the bags after pasteurisation.)
• Thaw to Feed  (Select when you plan to feed an animal with colostrum that has been stored in the freezer. The Trusti Pasteur will warm the colostrum to optimum feeding temperature 39°C.)
• Warm to Feed (Select when you plan to feed an animal with colostrum that has been stored in the refrigerator.)
• Preheat to 50°C (Select when you wish to advance the heating phase of the pasteurisation and warming programmes. By preheating the water to 50°C, and utilising the unique insulative properties of the Trusti Pasteur Pro, the water will keep warm for a long time)
• Maintain 50°C (This programme is very useful if you would like to sequentially warm many bags for feeding.)
• Custom Programme (Select if you wish to operate your Trusti Pasteur Pro for warming and heating outside of the above selections. You may select any temperature in between the incoming water supply temperature and up to 60°C.)
• Drain Water (Select to automatically drain water to the lowest level sensor.)
• Clean (Use this programme for your regular cleaning cycles.)

Included:

• Separator Rack
• Inlet & Drain Hoses
• Trusti Colostrum Bags
• Trusti Tuber for Colostrum Bags
• Cleaning Brush for Colostrum Bags
• User Guide

The Trusti Pasteur Pro is a practical and versatile addition to all farms seeking optimum colostrum management at the best price on the market.

7 KEYS TO PASTEURISATION SUCCESS

1. Test colostrum with a brix refractometer to identify high quality colostrum. > 22% indicates high quality and is equivalent to 50g/l immunoglobulins (antibodies).
2. The sooner the cow is milked after calving the greater the antibody level. After calving, the antibodies are reabsorbed from the colostrum resulting in 35% less antibodies after 12 hours.
3. Harvest cleanly: While pasteurisation achieves approximately a 98% reduction in bacterial count it is always better to begin with a cleaner product and create good harvesting habits.
4. Allocate colostrum to the Trusti Colostrum bags, record the cow, volume, and date with a permanent marker and pasteurise within a couple of hours of harvesting. If unable to pasteurise this soon then refrigerate the colostrum and pasteurise within a few days. Be sure to record on the bag that pasteurisation is complete.
5. It is important to cool the pasteurised colostrum quickly. Unpasteurised colostrum can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days, pasteurised for up to eight days. For longer term preservation, store in a deep freeze with reliable temperature for up to one year.
6. The sooner the calf is fed after birth the better the absorption of antibodies (within the first hour is best), after 12 hours the absorption rate has fallen by two thirds.
7. Equipment used to feed the calf should be thoroughly cleaned. After making the effort to optimise the colostrum it is prudent to prevent contamination with unhygienic equipment.
