This schedule is only a guideline and should be adjusted to the needs of the kid. Approximately 10kg of milk replacer will be consumed per kid.
Colostrum
The newborn kid should receive 150ml/kg bodyweight of colostrum (approx 600ml). The sooner kids receive colostrum the more effective the absorption of antibodies (protection against disease). If maternal colostrum is not available or to protect against disease transfer (eg CAE or Johnes) use a good quality colostrum replacer (such as HiCal).
General recommendations
Frequent feeding of small amounts will decrease digestive upsets.
Reconstituted Kid-Gro A+ may be refrigerated up to 24 hours. Discard unused portion after 24 hours.
Free choice milk is served at room temperature; do not leave kid bar empty for more than 2 hours. Milk should not be left out longer than 2 hours.
Clean ALL feeding utensils and equipment after each feeding: rinse in lukewarm water, wash with a detergent in hot (80°C) water, rinse with clean water (ideally a 5-10% bleach solution daily) and dry thoroughly with a clean towel.
Fresh, clean water should be available at all times.
When kids are consuming approximately 120-150g of concentrate ration per day, weaning may begin. A gradual weaning process will reduce stress and weight loss at that time.
