Feed newborn calves three quarts of high-quality warm colostrum via nipple bottle within one hour of birth and repeat 12 hours later (or) feed four quarts of high-quality warm colostrum by esophageal feeder within one hour of birth and repeat 12 hours later via nipple bottle as much as they will consume.

  3. For best mixing, continuously stir with wire whip while adding the powder to 100-120°F. water (hot as you can tolerate on your hand) use correct water temperature to avoid product separation.  Feed milk replacer at 90-100°F.
  4. Begin feed milk replacer on day two and provide fresh, clean water along with high quality, palatable Hi-Pro Feeds calf starter on a free-choice basis.
  5. Observe calves closely during the milk replacer feeding period. Avoid underfeeding, which may result in starvation, or over-consumption which may increase the incidence of scours.
