Automatic feeding machines:
This product has been designed for use in automatic milk feeding machines. Mixing temperatures should be set between 104-107°F. Calibration is recommended regularly and especially when switching to a different product lot. Grober recommends calibrating powder to 150-170g/L.
High Performance recommended feeding program
- A scale provides the best precision for weighing milk replacer powder.
- Free choice water should be offered at all times.
- High quality colostrum or colostrum replacer should be fed to all newborn calves, 3-4 quarts within 6 hours for optimal defence against environmental pathogens.
- Clean and rinse ALL feeding utensils and equipment after each feeding: rinse in lukewarm water, wash with a detergent in hot (180°F) water, rinse with clean water (ideally a weak, 5-10%, bleach solution) and dry thoroughly with a clean towel.
- During extreme conditions (cold or wind), offer an extra feeding of milk replacer per day.
- A good quality starter ration is an essential component to a calf nutrition program necessary for rumen development and transition from a milk diet. Offer fresh amounts each day with free choice water; when calves are consuming 2-3lbs/day for several days this can be used as an indicator that they are ready to wean.
