Zoologic Milk Matrix 30/55

Manufacturer: PetAg

A high fat milk protein powder containing low levels of lactose and fortified with vitamins and minerals to be used in feeding wild and exotic non-domestic animals such as Brown Bear, Black Bear, Seal, Dolphin, and Whale. Part of an integrated system designed to let you virtually match any mammal's milk.

Mixing Directions

There are some variations in the weight per unit volume of milk replacer powders. Therefore the most accurate measurements are made by actually weighing the powder and water. For example, 25 grams of Milk Matrix 30/55 plus 75 grams of water will yield 100 grams of a reconstituted milk replacer containing 25% solids. If weighing is not possible, the following volume measurements can be used to reconstitute Milk Matrix 30/55 to the indicated approximate concentrations:

Powder	Water	%solids	%protein	%fat	%lactose
1 part	1 part	31.3	10.4	17.8	Trace
3 parts	4 parts	25.5	8.5	14.5	Trace
1 part	2 parts	18.7	6.2	10.6	Trace
2 parts	5 parts	15.5	5.2	8.8	Trace

One (1) part is a volume measurement such as a tablespoon or a cup. The volume relationships shown above were calculated from the following weight-volume measurements. All weights were made on level measurements.

Utensil	Weight in grams
	Zoologic 30/55	Water
Tablespoon (enclosed scoop)	6.62	14.0
Standard Measuring Tablespoon	6.57	15.0
1/4 Standard Measuring Cup	27.40	60.0
1/3 Standard Measuring Cup	26.05	80.0

Uses

Milk Replacer

Milk Matrix 30/55 may be used alone or blended with other products in the Matrix family to formulate a milk replacer with nutrient levels that closely match a specie's natural milk.

As a general rule, liquid or reconstituted milk replacer should be fed at a rate of 10% to 20% of the bodyweight daily or as tolerated and required for steady growth and proper stool condition. Divide the total daily amount into 6 to 12 feedings per day, depending on age, condition, species and staffing.

Reconstituted milk replacers should be refrigerated and used within 24 hours. Feed at room or body temperature depending on size and condition of animal.

Weaning Food Supplement

Because of its highly digestible milk nutrients, the formula used during suckling is an excellent supplement during weaning as a transition from milk to solid food. Add to the diet at the rate of one teaspoon of powder per 10 lbs. bodyweight.

Storage

Reconstituted Milk Matrix 30/55 must be kept refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Opened powder must be refrigerated for up to 3 months, or can be frozen for up to 6 months to perserve freshness.

Unopened product may be frozen to extend shelf life for 6 months beyond expiration date.
