Kids: 4 > 3
Calves: 6 > 4
Cria: 12 > 6
Fawns: 8 > 7
Piglets: 6 > 4

*> Move onto less frequent schedule until weaned

Weigh the animal daily to determine correct total daily feed volume. Take care not to overfeed.

If the animal develops loose stools, reduce to 3/4 strength of chosen dilution temporarily until resolved, then gradually increase. Do not increase the total daily feed volume. Consult your veterinarian for additional advice.

*All babies should receive their mother’s milk for at least 2 days, if possible. The early colostrum milk helps with immunity due to its high concentration of the antibodies IgA and IgG which protect against viruses and bacteria. If mother’s milk was not possible, speak to your vet about a colostrum supplement
