How To Use
Dry powder should be weighed to determine the recommended amount. The measuring cup in each bag holds approximately 4 oz. dry powder. For best mixability, whisk powder with hot water (125°-135°F). Do not exceed 140°F. If the water is too hot you will damage the milk proteins (Maillard chemical reaction), which are essential to lamb and goat kid performance.
Lambs: Mix 4 oz. of dry powder with 1 pint (16 oz.) of water.
Goat Kids: Mix 4 oz. of dry powder with 1 1/2 pints (24 oz.) of water.
Thoroughly mix until the dry powder has been dissolved into a smooth solution.
Feeding Directions
- Hand-Feeding: For newborns, feed smaller amounts more frequently (up to 6 times per day). Gradually reduce the number of feedings as the animal gets older. Allow the milk to cool to 100°F (or less) before feeding. Use a stomach tube to ensure adequate consumption in struggling lambs. Don’t underfeed.
- Free Choice: Feed at 40°F to prevent overconsumption.
- Automatic Feeding Systems: Follow manufacturer’s directions.
