Milk Formula 1™ High Protein is a higher protein, premium quality milk replacer with strong calf acceptance and ideal blending characteristics that is meticulously formulated to meet the nutritional needs of newborn calves that need higher protein.
Birth: Feed 3 to 4 quarts of colostrum immediately after birth (need to provide 150 g of IgG). Feed 2 to 3 additional quarts within 12 hours of birth. Always use the highest quality colostrum available. If necessary, use an esophageal feeder. Don’t let the calf determine intake.
2 Days Old Until Weaning: Feed Milk Formula 1 High Protein until weaning. For small breed calves, feed 2 to 2.5 quarts of reliquefied Milk Formula 1 High Protein twice a day. For large breed calves, feed 2.5 to 3 quarts of reliquefied Milk Formula 1 High Protein twice a day. Continue to feed Milk Formula 1 High Protein as long as you would normally feed whole milk.
Cold Weather Feeding Instructions: Add an extra feeding using a non-medicated Milk Formula 1 High Protein milk replacer solution or switch to Milk Formula 1 Winterizer milk replacer during periods of cold stress.
Mix 12 ounces (0.75 pound) of milk replacer plus 2.5 quarts of warm (110°F) water. Add powder to water and mix vigorously. Use of cooler water requires greater mixing action and increases the possibility of the powder settling out. Feed immediately.
