The efficacy of limited volumes of colostrum (10 ml) administered three times a day in the prevention of infection was evaluated in 33 high risk low birth weight infants (group I) who were compared with 33 matched controls (group II). Infections were found to be significantly less (p < 0.01) in group I.
