Dissolve an entire packet of powder in 2 quarts of warm water. Feed to calf or foal twice daily for the first 2 days with an esophageal feeder, nursing bottle or pail.
Feed the solution as extra meals while still feeding milk or milk replacer. If the animal refuses milk, feed the solution and resume feeding the milk or milk replacer at the next scheduled feeding.
On days 3 and 4, administer one quart solution mixed with 1 quart of either milk or milk replacer two times per day.
Lambs will require about 1/4 of the above dosage.
When extra supplementation is needed or in large neonatal animals, 2 quarts of solution should be administered to each calf or foal 4 times each day for the first 2 days. 1/4 this dosage is required for lambs. Use the same dosage regimen for days 3 and 4 as recommended above.
