Directions For Use

Newborn lambs and goat kids should receive their first feeding of colostrum as soon as possible by nipple bottle or esophageal tube. Feed colostrum 3 times in the first 18 hours of life.

Use a whisk or metal mixing ball (for mixing sport drinks) to mix the powder for each feeding into water that is hot to the touch (55°C or 130°F). Avoid water temperatures above 55°C or 130°F. Hot water and vigorous mixing are required due to the high level of colostral fat and proteins.

The liquid can be stored refrigerated for up to 72 hours and should be rewarmed to 40°C (104°F) by immersing in warm water prior to feeding.

Dose:

Each feeding is based on body weight. Feed the appropriate amount described in the chart 3 times in the first 18 hours of life.

Each level scoop (included) is 20 g (0.7 oz) of powder.

Store closed at room temperature (22°C or 72°F).
