Homemade
Milk Replacer Ingredients:
1 gallon Milk (store bought is fine) 1 can Evaporated milk 1 cup Buttermilk Remove
enough milk from the store bought gallon to fit in the can of evaporated milk
and the 1 cup of Buttermilk. Mix will. This works better than the powdered milk
replacer because there isn't any water mixed into the milk. The water that is
added to the milk replacer is what causes the animals to scour. *NOTE* This is
an expensive solution for long term - but ti will work well in a pinch! Store
Bought Milk Replacer The
best "store bought" milk replacer that I have ever bought is Save a
Calf brand in the black bag. I have used plenty of replacers in the past but this
brand doesn't give the kids scours, and I think that they do pretty well on it.
With the cost of milk (if you don't have any lactating does) is so high that this
is a cheaper alternative that works! |
