FAQ
-
Rescue Lamb & Kid is a high-level colostrum replacer produced from nutrient-rich, natural bovine serum.
-
A colostrum replacer is a powdered formula of globulin protein and other nutrients that is mixed with water and fed to lambs and kids over the first 24 hours of life to help ensure newborns survive and thrive.
-
Most colostrum replacers are made from dried bovine colostrum or dried whey. Rescue Lamb & Kid is made from nutrient-rich, natural bovine serum. Research has shown that the components in serum are very similar to those found in colostrum, and that the effectiveness of serum-based colostrum replacers is equal to that of high-quality colostrum in supporting animal health. In addition, serum is a highly concentrated source of nutrition, which results in a smaller amount of powder that is easy for baby animals to eat and digest.
-
In addition to serum-based globulin protein, Rescue Lamb & Kid provides 88 grams of total protein (based on body weight), energy derived from fat & carbohydrates, and vitamins & minerals newborns need for long-term health and performance.
-
Begin feedings as soon as possible following birth and give 18 grams of powder per pound of body weight over a 24-hour period. Use the chart on the product label as a guide.
-
For each feeding, mix 1/4 cup of powder into 4 ounces of warm (105°F/40°C) water. Stir until the powder dissolves completely. Feed the mixture to the animal via nipple feeder or esophageal feeder. Only mix enough Rescue Lamb & Kid for one feeding at a time. One bag (1.3 lb) of Rescue Lamb & Kid feeds 3-7 animals as a replacer and 6-14 animals as a supplement.
-
It’s not harmful to feed Rescue Lamb & Kid after 24 hours of age but the greatest benefits will be seen when feedings begin immediately following birth and continue for a 24-hour period.
-
Rescue Lamb & Kid can be fed as a colostrum supplement to provide added nutrition that helps lambs & kids thrive. To feed as a supplement mix 2 tablespoons of powder into 2 ounces of warm (105°F/40°C) water and feed in addition to colostrum. When used as a supplement, one tub (1.3 lb) of Rescue Lamb & Kid feeds 6–14 animals and one pail (9.3 lb) feeds 42–98 animals.
-
Rescue Lamb & Kid should be mixed in water only. When added to colostrum, the increase in total solids content may result in a mixture that is too thick for the animal to eat.
-
Rescue Lamb & Kid has a 24-month shelf life when stored unopened in a cool, dry place at a temperature of 50°–86°F. Once the tub has been opened be sure to seal the lid tightly between feedings to keep air out and freshness in. Once Rescue Lamb & Kid is mixed with water it should be fed immediately and never stored.
