Is there a bovine colostrum that is tasteless?

I was hoping to purchase this human grade bovine colostrum from Pet Health & Nutrition for my four year old FHV cat with allergies, however, the customer service rep said it did have a taste (and odor) when mixed in with the food.  "Some cats really like the taste."

I don't want to take the chance that he won't eat it, it's $25.00.  It would be mixed in with his mostly raw diet and a little canned.

Does anyone have any experience with a bovine colostrum for cats that would have minimal to no taste at all?

Thanks!

Bumping this up since you haven't rec'd any responses.  I'm not familiar with any that might fit the bill.  I take it myself, but have never tried giving it to my cats, and whose to say what I cat can or cannot taste.  Shoot, my cats rejected PET probiotics, but wlll eat  food with human probiotics in it, so go figure. 

Have you tried calling the seller land asking them if they have any samples or if they know if it is tasteless, etc.  .  Maybe they even have a 30 day guarantee or something?

MrsGreenJeans,

Thanks!

I did contact the company and spoke with a rep - it does have a taste.  Who knows though, as you suggested, which cats will detect it and refuse it along with the food.

I've been researching different brands, Symbiotics among them, however, the one I linked is a very high grade bovine colostrum so I'm just going to get it and hope for the best. 

We've spent so much anyway on Mikey's neck / skin problems, the colostrum is but a drop in the bucket. :)

Thank you though, appreciate it.
