    • Sep 15, 2020
    • By Grober Nutrition
    • In Canada

    As calf research continues to progress, we are better able to intervene at key moments to positively alter a calf’s outcome. For instance, we know that testing maternal colostrum with a refractometer gives us the ability to ensure the calf will receive enough immunoglobulins in the first meal to reduce…

How do you feed your milk replacer? 🍼 Whether How do you feed your milk replacer? 🍼

Whether you feed by bottle, pail, mob feeder or auto feeder, the most important thing is consistency! All species thrive on consistency, especially when it comes to their daily meals. No matter how you feed it, make sure your milk replacer is weighed, and mixed at the right temperature! 
⚖️Using a scoop to measure the amount of powder is not an accurate measurement and can lead to variations in feeding amount. 
🌡️Mixing at too hot of a temperature can result in important components of the fat formulation losing functionality, and mixing at too cold of a temperature will reduce solubility, and interfere with proper emulsion of fats and oils, which may reduce milk replacer digestibility.
So, no matter how you deliver the milk, make sure you are using a scale and thermometer to mix! 🐮🐑🐐🐷

Are you lambing now or later in the winter? ❄️ Are you lambing now or later in the winter? ❄️

As the temperature outside starts to drop, we need to remember that lambs are very susceptible to hypothermia. They are born with limited fat reserves, so there are a few steps you should take when lambs are born:
1. Ensure they receive adequate colostrum and milk 
2. Make sure they are dried rapidly after birth 
3. Have lots of bedding and consider the use of heat lamps 

Have questions? Contact one of our Young Animal Specialists.

Grober PigletGro milk replacer can be used in a few ways:
1. As a supplement to sows milk to increase overall nutrition of the litter 
2. To drench small and struggling piglets as a starting point to nursing 
3. As a full replacement to any piglets pulled from a sow and not cross fostered 
4. To mix with creep feed to create a porridge for easier transition from sow to solid feed, and to top dress creep feed to help with intake of solid feed. 

For more information, visit our website or reach out to our swine specialist, Amber.
