Add 12 ounces of milk replacer powder (about three scoops with the included scoop) to 2 quarts warm water (115-120 °F). Mix thoroughly with wire whisk. The enclosed cup holds approximately 4 ounces of dry milk replacer powder. Weigh powder for best results. Cool milk replacer solution to body temperature (102-105 °F) before feeding. After mixing powder with water, refrigerate extra milk replacer solution promptly and use within 24 hours after warming to a feeding temperature of 102-105 °F.

For large breed calves (120 lbs. bodyweight): Fill 2-quart bottle to the rim with 2.3 quarts of milk replacer solution and feed twice daily per calf. Adjust feeding rates for small breed calves. Always offer clean, free-choice water. 

Every animal is an individual. The amount fed may need to be adjusted to support optimal body condition and growth. Animals may need an additional feeding of non-medicated milk replacer or energy supplement during cold weather. Consult your veterinarian or animal nutritionist if you have questions. 

Important note for newborn calf care: Colostrum is the first milk from the cow following birth, providing nutrients that are essential to the calf’s health and growth. Newborns should receive colostrum in the first day of life, before feeding milk replacer. Feed large breed calves 4 quarts of clean, high-quality colostrum as soon as possible after birth, preferably within the first 2 hours and again 12 hours later. Begin feeding milk replacer on day 2. Adjust feeding rates for small breeds. 

If maternal colostrum is not available use a powdered, high-quality colostrum replacer. If maternal colostrum is in short supply, use a powdered colostrum supplement and mix into colostrum according to label directions. For calves that develop scours (diarrhea) or need support during hot weather or other times of stress, feed an electrolyte supplement between milk feedings.
