Milk Replacers for Lambs and Goat Kids
Our lamb and kid milk replacers are quality products that provide all the essential nutrients needed for proper health and optimal growth.
Lamb Milk Replacer
Mixing Instructions:
Mix at a rate of 2lbs. per gallon of warm water (110°F) or one 4 ounce cup* of Lamb Milk Replacer with two cups of warm water. Milk will stay fresh up to 3 days due to acidification.
Feeding Instructions:
Ensure that the baby lamb receives colostrum during its first 12 hours of life.
For best results, mix Lamb Milk Replacer with warm water (110°F), then cool to room temperature. Offer ad libitum to lambs through a suitable nipple feeder. Milk should be available at all times.
For hand feeding with a nipple bottle or restricted feeding offer warm milk at 100°F. It is recommended to offer 3 to 6 feedings per day of warm milk during the first two weeks of life and thereafter 2 feedings per day. Never offer more than 1/2 pint per feeding.
Provide good quality lamb creep at 3 to 6 days of age and restrict hay intake to the amount a lamb will eat in an hour.
Wean lambs at a minimum of 30 days and weighing at least 25 pounds.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry location. Do not double stack pallets of milk replacer.
*The measuring cup provided in the bag holds approximately 4 ounces of milk replacer powder. For greater accuracy, a suitable scale is recommended.
