The following are guidelines only, use common sense. If you are unsure whether this feed is suitable for your intended use or of the quantities to use please get advice from the retailer, vet or an informed source before use.
- To maintain this feed the packaging should be folded down or zip locked to prevent contamination and preserve freshness. Store in a cool, dry place – out of direct light.
- New born animals should be fed colostrum for the first four days after birth.
- All utensils and containers used in preparing and feeding must be kept clean.
- All feed changes should be gradual as overfeeding can cause digestive disorders.
Advised Practices for Milk Feeding
- Mix milk powder prior to feeding, i.e. not the day before, not only is there potential for the milk to “go off” but calves prefer the milk fresh and warm as energy will not be wasted in heating cold milk up to blood temperature.
- Mix powder thoroughly with warm water (preferably 38-40degrees).
- Always use clean fresh water
- Gradually increase feeding rates as this will avoid the potential for scours.
