Grade A Ultra 24
Grade A Ultra 24 is a multi-species milk replacer to be fed to herd replacement calves, foals, baby pigs, puppies, lambs, goat kids, llama and alpaca crias, fawns and elk calves. May also be used as a dry powder supplement. May be used in liquid or dry powder form for intermittent or supplemental feeding in kittens.
IMPORTANT NOTE ON NEWBORN ANIMAL CARE: Every newborn animal should receive colostrum from its own mother as soon as possible after it is born to ensure maximum absorption of protective maternal antibodies. Colostrum is the first milking from the mother following birth, providing nutrients, growth factors, and immune globulin proteins that are crucial to the health and growth of the newborn. If the mother’s colostrum is not available, fresh cow or goat colostrum may be substituted, or Ultra Start® Colostrum Supplement may be used.
