Deep‐frozen cows' colostrum samples inoculated with high doses of either Brucella abortus strain 544, Escherichia coli K99, Salmonella dublin or Mycobacterium paratuberculosis were subjected to γ‐irradiation for decontamination. The 10 kGy γ‐irradiation which is commonly used for sterilization of foodstuffs and biological products proved to be efficient in eliminating the four organisms from colostrum without damage for anti‐Bovine Herpes Virus 1 immunoglobulin specific activity.
