Mixing directions
Using a whisk, mix 1 part powder into 2 parts water (43 to 49oC). Feed the mixed colostrum at 15% of the lamb or kid’s body weight divided into 3 feedings within 18 hours of birth. It is very important to use hot water and mix vigorously, because the high levels of natural fat and proteins required for young lambs and kids can be difficult to break down and disperse evenly.
Storage
Store out of direct sunlight in a dry location at or below 25oC. The mixed colostrum can be stored refrigerated for up to 72 hours and should be warmed to 40oC by immersing in water (50 to 55oC) prior to feeding. Do not microwave.
