How To Feed Purina® Kid Milk Replacer

Milk replacer to be fed to goat kids, lambs, and foals from the second day of life through weaning. All the proteins used in this product are derived from milk proteins.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS FOR KIDS Mix Kid Milk Replacer as follows: For large quantities, add 1 1/2 lbs. (5 cups) milk replacer powder to a portion of warm (110oF) water and mix thoroughly. Then add the remainder of water to bring to a total volume of one gallon. For smaller quantities, sprinkle 0.2 lbs. (2/3 cup) of milk replacer powder to a portion of warm (110oF) water and mix thoroughly. Then add the remainder of water to bring to a total volume of one pint. The enclosed cup holds 0.3 lbs. of powder level full. If feeding the milk warm, feed at about 100oF. If feeding cold, add powder to warm (110oF) water but add cold water to bring to volume. Let cool if necessary to desired feeding temperature. It is best to not mix more than a 24 hour supply.

FEEDING INSTRUCTIONS FOR KIDS Ensure the kid receives colostrum during the first 24 hours of life.

BOTTLE FEEDING/INDIVIDUAL FEEDING FOR KIDS Feed each kid individually with a nipple bottle and warm milk and feed up to a maximum of 1/2 pint per feeding. Feed 2 to 3 feedings per day for the first week and then if required, increase to 4 feedings per day. Once the kid is five weeks old, cut back to 1 or 2 feedings per day to encourage dry feed intake of Purina Goat Chow®. Overfeeding can cause bloat and digestive disorders.

COLD AD LIB FEEDING FOR KIDS Milk should be available through a suitable feeder at all times and should always be offered at room temperature. For the first two or three feedings after removing the kid from the mother it may be necessary to individually bottle feed the kid to adapt to the nipple. Provide Purina Goat Chow® free choice beginning at 3 to 6 days of age. For more details on raising goat kids with Kid Milk Replacer, see the Purina Feeding Program brochure.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS FOR LAMBS Mix Milk Replacer as follows: For large quantities, add 2 lbs. (6 3/4 cups) milk replacer powder to a portion of warm (110oF) water and mix thoroughly. Then add the remainder of water to bring to a total volume of one gallon. For smaller quantities, sprinkle 0.22 lbs. (3/4 cup) of milk replacer powder to a portion of warm (110oF) water and mix thoroughly. Then add the remainder of water to bring to a total volume of one pint. The enclosed cup holds 0.3 lbs. of powder level full.

FEEDING INSTRUCTIONS FOR LAMBS Ensure that the baby lamb receives colostrum during its first 12 hours of life. If feeding the milk warm, feed at about 100oF. If feeding cold, add powder to warm (110oF) water but add cold water to bring to volume. Let cool if necessary to desired feeding temperature. It is best to not mix more than a 24 hour supply. Milk should be available at all times. For hand feeding with a nipple bottle or restricted feeding offer milk warm at 100oF. 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 a 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 of age and weighing at least 25 pounds.

MIXING AND FEEDING INSTRUCTIONS FOR FOALS Mix Kid Milk Replacer as follows: Add 1 lb. (3 1/3 cups) milk replacer powder to a portion of warm (110oF) water and mix thoroughly. Then add the remainder of water to bring to a total volume of one gallon. The enclosed cup holds 0.3 lbs. of powder level full. Feed daily the amounts shown below: Day 1 - The most important step is getting colostrum into newborn foals within the first 24 hours of life. Thereafter, milk replacer may be introduced to the foal. Days 2-7 - Mix Kid Milk Replacer according to the label directions. Start foals at 4-6 pints per day and progressively increase intake up to 4 quarts a day. Divide the total daily intake of the milk replacer solution into 4-6 feedings per day. Days 7-28 - Continue feeding Kid Milk Replacer at the rate of 4 quarts a day, 4-6 times daily. Foals at this age will probably start nibbling at dry feed, so make Omolene 300, Equine Junior or Pure Pride 300 available free-choice. Days 28-42 - When foals reach one month, start weaning them of milk replacer and put more emphasis on dry feed. Keep feeding the dry feed free-choice, at a 5 lb. per day maximum. Days 42-90 - When foals are completely weaned, maintain a 5 lb. per day free-choice feeding of Omolene 300, Equine Junior or Pure Pride 300. Later during this period, begin feeding a high quality hay. After 90 days of age, follow a recommended feeding program for weaned foals.
