Can Lamb Milk Replacer be fed to other animals like goats?
Lamb Milk Replacer is specifically designed for lambs, and while it might be safe for other ruminants like goats, it is always best to use species-specific formulas for optimal results. Consult a vet before feeding it to other animals.
How long can I store prepared milk replacer solution?
Once mixed, the milk replacer solution should be used immediately. Any leftover solution should be discarded after 24 hours to avoid bacterial contamination.
At what age can lambs stop drinking milk replacer?
Lambs can typically be weaned when they are consistently consuming 1/2 to 3/4 lb of lamb starter feed per day, usually around 6-8 weeks of age. Gradually transition them to solid food while continuing to monitor their health.
Does Lamb Milk Replacer with Probiotics prevent scours in lambs?
Yes, the probiotics in the milk replacer help promote a healthy digestive tract, which can reduce the risk of scours (diarrhea) in lambs. However, overfeeding or improper feeding schedules can still lead to digestive issues.
What is the correct temperature for mixing Lamb Milk Replacer?
For optimal mixing, use water at approximately 110°F (43°C). This helps the powder dissolve more easily and ensures it is at the right temperature for feeding.
How much milk replacer should I feed a newborn lamb?
In the first 24 hours, lambs should be fed colostrum. Afterward, for days 2-10, feed 6-8 oz per feeding, 3 times a day. Adjust the feeding schedule as the lamb grows, based on the feeding guidelines.
How do I transition lambs to solid feed?
Begin introducing solid feed in the second week by sprinkling a little milk replacer on lamb starter feed. Gradually increase the amount of solid feed as the lambs start nibbling, and reduce the milk replacer until they are fully weaned.
Can I refrigerate mixed milk replacer?
While it is possible to refrigerate the milk replacer solution for short periods, it's best to prepare fresh batches as needed. Refrigerated milk should be used within 24 hours, and any leftovers should be discarded after that.
Does Lamb Milk Replacer with Probiotics contain antibiotics?
