IMPORTANT NOTES FOR NEWBORN MANAGEMENT:

Newborns should receive colostrum in the first day of life before being fed milk replacer, preferably within the first 6 hours of life. Colostrum is the first milk from the mother following birth, providing nutrients that are essential to the newborn’s health and growth. If the mother’s colostrum is of high quality but in short supply, feed a colostrum supplement in addition to maternal colostrum. If the mother’s colostrum is not available or is not usable (dirty or contaminated), use a colostrum replacer. For animals that develop scours (diarrhea) or need support during hot weather or other stress, use an electrolyte supplement. Offer fresh water at all times.

Storage

Store dry Ultra 24™ powder in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry place. Best if used within 12 months of date of manufacture. Shelf life can be extended by freezing the dry powder in a tightly sealed container. After mixing with water, refrigerate extra milk replacer solution promptly and use within 24 hours.

NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION

DIRECTIONS FOR USE AS A DRY POWDER SUPPLEMENT

Dry Ultra 24™ powder may be sprinkled on top of or mixed into dry grain feed to encourage consumption during weaning from milk replacer, or to provide supplemental nutrients to hard working, stressed or thin animals. Clean feeding containers and provide fresh feed or food daily to help prevent spoilage. Store mixed solution separate of food items.

CALVES, FOALS & PIGS	Mix 1 cup (3.5 dry oz) of powder into 1 pound of dry feed daily.
LAMBS, KIDS, CRIAS, FAWNS & ELK CALVES	Mix 1/2 cup (1.75 dry oz) of powder into 1 pound of dry feed daily.

HELPFUL CONVERSIONS FOR LIQUID MEASURE:

1 QUART = 4 CUPS

MIXING DIRECTIONS

TO MEASURE: For best result, the dry powder should always be weighed on a scale. NOTE: A cup that measures 8 fluid ounces of water (not included in the bag) will hold approximately 3.5 dry ounces (approximately 100 grams) of dry milk replacer powder by weight.

TO MIX: Sprinkle milk replacer powder on top of warm water (115-120° F) and stir with a whisk until completely dissolved. Cool the milk replacer solution to body temperature before feeding. Refrigerate extra milk replacer solution promptly and use within 24 hours. Re-warm cold milk replacer gently in the feeding bottle by floating it in a pan of warm water. Mix thoroughly and test the temperature before feeding.

FEEDING DIRECTIONS

Cool the milk replacer solution to body temperature (about 101-105° F) before feeding. Check temperature of milk replacer solution before feeding to avoid scalding.
