How to Mix Milk Replacer for Calves

Milk replacement solution is a common feeding alternative for calves, during their liquid feeding stage. After the first two or three days of colostrum feeding, calves can receive milk replacement, along with their starter feed and water regimen. Selecting milk replacement also protects the calves from illness due to contamination of milk supplies.
