Should colostrum be milked out completely? Detailed explanation of the correct approach

Should colostrum be milked out completely
In actual practice, what does everyone do, or what have you all seen done? And if it is not milked out completely, why?
---------------------
Looking forward to an answer from an expert
---------------------
Do not milk colostrum out completely: 1. The composition of colostrum is more than ten times that of normal milk, so the cow will mobilize large amounts of blood calcium, sugar, etc. This can lead to postpartum paralysis.
Calving is a great stress for the cow, appetite will decline, and it cannot get enough nutrition.
We milk it out completely after 3-5 days.

I agree with the view of the previous poster

If the colostrum at the beginning is milked dry, it will also affect the dairy cow's milk yield and peak milk production
---------------------
There is now a saying that using a low-calcium diet for 2 weeks before calving to prevent postpartum paralysis allows the udder to be completely milked out after calving. I wonder if anyone has tried it.

I have seen this method used. The prerequisite for possibly using this method must be ensuring good feeding and management, and the cow must also be in good condition
I do not know whether it is universally applicable

I support the approach on the third floor

Calving is a great stress for the cow...
