How to Prepare
Using the scoop provided, add 31g (7 level scoops) to 100ml of warm water (42°C, allow boiled water to cool first) and stir until fully dissolved. Allow to cool to lukewarm (38°C, blood temperature) before feeding. Use clean, sterile feeding equipment such as the Beaphar Lactol Feeding Set or Feeding Syringes. Prepared milk can be refrigerated for 24 hours; reheat to 38°C before feeding young animals. 1 litre of prepared milk contains approximately 1250 kcal.
