• FEEDING

  Mixing rate: 125 grams to make up 1 litre of finished CMR.

  Suggested mixing: Dissolve 1 kg of Ravensdown CMR in 7 litres of water to make 8 litres of milk (125 g/l). Take half of the desired quantity of water at 50 °C. Gradually add the powder, while stirring until the smooth milk is obtained. Add the remaining water up to the desired quantity.

  Feed the calves the milk at 40°C.

• PRACTICAL GUIDELINES

  - Within hours of birth colostrum should be fed to calves equivalent in volume to 10% of birth weight.
  - Always feed milk in clean and disinfected feeders.
  - Calves should be fed 2 litres of milk per day increasing to 4-6 litres of milk per day.

  As Ravensdown calf milk powder is whey based, Ravensdown CMR will not curdle in the calf and has a quick (~1.5-2 hours) digestion time. Calves may appear hungrier than normal and hard feed consumption may be greater than expected. Offer RavCalf 18 calf pellets from day 1.

  Wean calves from milk when consuming 1kg RavCalf 18 per head per day or when desired weaning weights area achieved.

  Always provide clean and fresh water in low to the ground troughs.​

• STORAGE

  Clean, dry, 10-20 °C, 60% relative humidity, away from strongly odorous materials. Shelf life is 2 months from production date.
