Calf Mixing and Feeding Directions
Sprinkle milk replacer powder on top of warm water (115-120° F) and stir with a whisk until completely dissolved. Cool the milk replacer solution to body temperature before feeding. Refrigerate extra milk replacer solution promptly and use within 24 hours. Re-warm cold milk replacer gently in the feeding bottle by floating it in a pan of warm water. Mix thoroughly and test the temperature before feeding.
