Mixing and Feeding Directions: Feed four quarts of colostrum per day for the first three days, divided into two equal feedings. Ensure at least one colostrum feeding within two hours after birth.
Mix 14 ounces of Professional Calf Ranch™ Milk Replacer per 2 quarts of warm (110-115 F) water. For larger quantities, mix 8.75 lbs. of Professional Calf Ranch™ Milk Replacer per 5 gallons of warm (110-115 F) water. Feed at a temperature of approximately 105 F.
Feed each calf twice per day using 14 oz. of Professional Calf Ranch™ Milk Replacer in 2 quarts of solution per feeding. Research has shown calves gain more weight when fed 14 oz milk replacer per feeding (versus 8 oz per feeding), due to increased dry matter intake. For best performance, start feeding Textured Starter Feed at day 3 to 4 & continue feeding free choice until weeks 4 to 6.
For best results with shipped calves, feed 2 quarts of Professional Calf Ranch™ Milk Replacer twice daily beginning on the day of arrival and continue until weaning. Provide 1 to 2 gallons of NouricheNutrition’s Travel-Lyte® electrolyte between feedings for the first 3 - 5 days.
For calves born weighing 50-80 lb, feed twice daily on a step-up program starting with 1 1/2 quarts per feeding. Increase to 1 3/4 quarts per feeding after 2 days and increase again to 2 quarts per feeding after another 2 days. Continue feeding 2 quarts per feeding until weaning.
Calves can be successfully weaned from milk replacer at between 4 to 6 weeks of age. As a guideline, calves should be: 1) at least 21 days old; 2) daily intake of textured starter feed is at least 1% of calf’s initial body weight; 3) cumulative intake of textured starter feed is at least 9% of calf’s initial body weight; and 4) calf has gained 12% of initial body weight. Weaning can be “abrupt” or by feeding milk replacer only in the morning for 1 week prior to weaning. Provide clean, fresh water at all times.
In freezing temperatures, add a mid-day feeding of Professional Calf Ranch™ Milk Replacer. Feed 1 - 2 quarts per head at mid-day in addition to the morning and evening feedings to compensate for increased energy demands of cold stress.
