MIXING AND FEEDING DIRECTIONS

FOR ACCURATE MIXING AND FEEDING ALWAYS WEIGH MILK REPLACER POWDER.

Use ONLY LOW SODIUM (<50 ppm) water for mixing and feeding!

NOTE: Always offer free choice water.

Lambs should receive colostrum soon after birth. Remove lambs from ewes 1 day after birth, if possible, and start lambs on Ultra Fresh Optimum Lamb Milk Replacer.

MIXING DIRECTIONS

Mix milk replacer powder according to the schedule listed below by adding powder to water as indicated and mix thoroughly.

*Enclosed measure holds approximately 0.35 lb of dry powder.

Always weigh milk replacer powder for accurate mixing.

FEEDING DIRECTIONS

Provide fresh, clean water and a high-quality dry feed on a free-choice basis at all times.

Hand Feeding: When hand feeding by bottle. Ultra Fresh Lamb Milk Replacer should be fed at 100-105° F. The following feeding schedule is recommended:

- After Colostrum Feeding to 3 Days: Feed 1/3 cup (2.66 fluid oz) of reconstituted Ultra Fresh Lamb Milk Replacer 4 to 6 times a day at 4 hour intervals.

- 4 Days to 2 Weeks: Gradually decrease the number of feedings and increase amount of Ultra Fresh Lamb Milk Replacer per feeding. At two weeks of age, 1 cup (8 fluid oz) of reconstituted Ultra Fresh Lamb Milk Replacer 3 times per day is sufficient.

- 2 Weeks to Weaning: Feed reconstituted Ultra Fresh Lamb Milk Replacer twice daily and in gradually increased quantities.

Free Choice Feeding: Mix fresh solution daily and provide ready access to a clean nipple feeder. When starting lambs on nipples they will require assistance; however, they will adapt readily and nurse independently within 1 or 2 days. Ultra Fresh Lamb Milk Replacer solution should be kept cool to help keep it fresh and prevent overeating.

General Recommendations

1. Keep all equipment used for mixing and feeding thoroughly cleaned.

2. Newborn lambs should receive colostrum as soon after birth as possible (within 3-4 hours). Allow the lamb to nurse the ewe, or offer 2 to 3 oz. of colostrum by bottle every 3-4 hours for the first day of life.

3. When hand feeding by bottle or shallow pan, milk replacer should be about 100°-105°F.

4. Provide fresh, clean water and a high-quality dry feed on a free-choice basis after the lambs are 3 days old.

5. If scouring occurs, continue to feed milk replacer but also feed electrolytes and water, separately. If scours persists contact your veterinarian for proper treatments.

6. Lambs should be weaned from milk at about 4 to 6 weeks of age or about 25 pounds of body weight. Abrupt weaning can be used; however, reducing milk replacer feeding a few days prior to weaning to encourage creep intake may be desirable.

NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION

Store in cool, dry location. Do not double stack pallets of milk replacer.
