How to Use

Directions for Use

Mixing:

• Measure Powder: Add one level enclosed cup containing approximately four ounces of milk replacer powder into warm water.
• Add Warm Water: Use one pint of clean water warmed to approximately 110°F for proper powder dissolution and mixing.
• Sprinkle Gradually: Sprinkle the milk replacer powder evenly onto the warm water before beginning the mixing process carefully.
• Whisk Thoroughly: Mix the solution completely using a wire whisk until the powder is fully dissolved without lumps.
• Prepare Fresh Solution: Mix only the amount of milk replacer needed immediately before each feeding to maintain freshness always.

Feeding:

• Follow the Feeding Chart: Feed the amounts on the package based on the lamb's age and growth stage.
• Adjust for Each Lamb: Every lamb is different, adjust the amount based on its appetite and condition, without overfeeding.
• Don't Overfeed: Stick to the recommended amounts. Overfeeding can upset a lamb's stomach and get in the way of healthy growth.

General Recommendations:

• Feed Colostrum: Feed two to four ounces of colostrum four times during the lamb's first day after birth.
• Early Immunity: Ensure one colostrum feeding occurs within two hours after birth to support essential early immune protection.
• Use Colostrum Supplement: Use Manna Pro Colostrum Supplement whenever maternal colostrum is unavailable for newborn lambs immediately after birth.
• Introduce Starter Feed: Begin offering lamb starter feed during the second week to encourage healthy rumen development and growth.
• Encourage Feed Intake: Sprinkle a small amount of milk replacer powder on lamb starter feed to encourage early nibbling.
• Maintain Feeding Routine: Feed lambs at regular times each day to promote consistent intake and healthy growth.
• Wean at Proper Intake: Wean lambs after they consistently consume one-half to three-quarters pound of lamb starter daily.

Additional Information

Precautions

• Avoid Overfeeding: Adjust the feeding rate carefully, since overfeeding milk replacer can cause digestive upset in lambs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What ingredients are in Lamb Milk Replacer with Probiotics?

Ans: This formula is built on dried whey, dried whey protein concentrate, and dried skimmed milk, providing an all-milk protein base. It also includes Opti-Gut probiotics, along with vitamins and minerals to enhance healthy growth and development in young lambs.

Q2: What is Opti-Gut?

Ans: Opti-Gut is Manna Pro's proprietary blend of natural probiotics and yeast components, including Bacillus subtilis and Enterococcus faecium. It's designed to support a healthy balance of gut bacteria, helping lambs digest nutrients more effectively from the very start of life.

Q3: How much protein and fat does this formula provide?

Ans: This formula provides a minimum of 24.00% crude protein and 30.00% crude fat, along with a maximum of 0.15% crude fiber. This nutrient-dense profile is designed to closely mimic natural ewe's milk.

Q4: How do I mix this milk replacer?

Ans: Add one level cup, about 4 ounces by weight, of powder to a pint of warm water at 110°F. Sprinkle the powder onto the water and whisk thoroughly, mixing only what you need for each and every time.

Q5: When should I start feeding this to my lamb?

Ans: This formula is designed to be fed from day 2 of life through weaning, once initial colostrum feedings are complete. Lambs typically wean once they're consistently eating a half to three-quarters of a pound of lamb starter feed on a daily basis.

Q6: Do I still need to feed colostrum first?

Ans: Yes, colostrum is essential in the first day of life. Feed 2 to 4 ounces four times on day one, making sure one feeding happens within two hours of birth, before starting this milk replacer formula for your growing lamb.

Q7: Can I use this if I run out of maternal colostrum?

Ans: If maternal colostrum isn't available, Manna Pro Colostrum Supplement can be used instead during the first day of life. This milk replacer with probiotics is meant to follow colostrum feeding, not replace it at any point in this early stage.
