*For newborns (including: cats, dogs, rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, horses, alpacas, cows, sheep, pigs, deer, zoo animals, flying foxes, and microbats.)
Impact Colostrum should be fed as soon as possible after birth and preferably before milk is fed. Colostrum can be absorbed for several days after birth, depending on the species, but is most effective in the first 12 hours of life. Newborns that have not received maternal colostrum should receive at least 2 doses of Impact Colostrum within 48 hours of birth.
First 12 hours after birth: Prepare an Impact Dose as described below and feed ¼ of the amount every 2 hours. Do not feed milk during this time.
12 to 48 hours after birth: Commence feeding milk. Prepare an Impact Dose as described below and feed ¼ of the amount every 4 hours, in between milk feeds.
Do not mix or feed Impact Colostrum with milk.
To make an Impact Dose
Weigh the animal and select the appropriate weight range from the feeding guide. Thoroughly mix the amounts of Impact Colostrum powder and warm, pre-boiled water. An electric whisk may be used for larger quantities. Prepared Impact Colostrum may be kept refrigerated for one day, or stored frozen for up to 2 weeks.
See back of the box for dosing instructions.
