To make 1 litre of milk:

• Mix 250g of powder with 800mL of warm pre-boiled water.

• Add the remaining water and mix thoroughly (use an electric whisk if available).

Storage:
Prepared milk can be stored in the refrigerator for 24 hours or frozen in small portions (e.g. ice cube trays) for up to two weeks. Discard any unused, thawed milk.

Feeding Guide

• Warm milk to approximately 30°C.
• Feed with a bottle and D Teat (fits standard soft drink bottle neck).
• Feed 4 times daily in week 1, 3 times daily in week 2, then reduce to 2 daily feeds.
• Offer clean water between feeds, especially in hot weather.

Note: Consult a vet or experienced carer for specific advice.

Growth Monitoring

Species-specific growth rates vary—refer to breed-specific guidelines. Weigh fawns regularly using accurate scales to track progress and ensure proper feeding volumes. Overfeeding can lead to diarrhoea.

Weaning

Start introducing high-quality herbage from 4 weeks of age to develop rumen function. Weaning typically occurs by 3 months of age, depending on the species. Gradually reduce milk as solid intake increases until fully weaned.
