Directions for mixing Milk Powder:
For very young (less than 7 days old) or severely malnourished animals, mix one measure milk with two measures of warm water. For older animals (7 to 10 days old with eyes open) mix two measures of milk with three measures of warm water.
Gently shake or stir one part powdered Goat’s Milk into two parts of warm water. A part is any measuring device you use: teaspoon, tablespoon or cup. Do not use a blender. All animals should receive their mother’s milk for at least 2 days, if possible. This colostrum milk gives extra nutrition and temporary immunity against some diseases. Goat’s Milk may be fed at the daily rate of two tablespoons (30ml) of liquid per 4 ounces (115g) of bodyweight. The daily feeding rate should be divided into equal portions for each feeding. Small or weak animals should be fed every 3 to 4 hours. Larger and/or older animals do well being fed every 8 hours. Weigh them daily to assure adequate feeding and nutrition. Goat’s Milk should be fed at room or body temperature.
Pregnant & Lactating Animals:
Mix Goat’s Milk Powder into the daily ration at the rate of 2 teaspoonfuls per 5lbs. (2.2kg) bodyweight until 2 weeks after whelping. Goat’s Milk must be refrigerated. Discard unused portion after 24 hours. Opened powder can be refrigerated for up to 3 months or can be frozen for up to 6 months.
