Zoologic® 33/40 is a high-fat, moderate-protein powdered milk replacer and nutritional supplement designed for the hand-rearing and nutritional support of young wild and exotic mammals. Developed by PetAg and trusted by zoos, wildlife rehabilitators, and animal care professionals, this formula helps closely replicate the natural milk of many mammal species during critical growth stages.
With a 33% crude protein and 40% crude fat profile, Zoologic® 33/40 provides energy-dense nutrition to support healthy growth, development, and weight gain in newborn and weaning animals.
Designed for Species-Specific Nutrition
Zoologic® 33/40 is part of PetAg’s Milk Matrix system, an integrated line of formulas designed to be used alone or blended together to more accurately match the natural milk composition of different species. This flexibility allows caregivers to adjust nutrient profiles based on species, age, and developmental needs.
High Fat, Balanced Protein
Formulated with 40% fat and 33% protein to support energy demands, healthy weight gain, and tissue development.
Low Lactose Formula
Contains minimal lactose, making it suitable for many non-domestic mammals that are sensitive to lactose.
Milk Matrix Compatibility
Designed to be blended with other Zoologic Milk Matrix formulas (such as 30/20 or 30/52) to create customized, species-appropriate milk profiles.
Fortified for Proper Growth
Includes essential vitamins and minerals to support bone development, immune health, and overall wellbeing.
Versatile Use
Suitable for both neonatal feeding and as a supplemental nutrition source during the weaning process.
Reconstituting milk replacers with water is most accurately accomplished by weighing the individual components. If weighing is not possible, use the following volume measurements to reconstitute Milk Matrix 33/40 powder to the indicated approximate concentrations.
| Powder | Water | % Solids | % Protein | % Fat | % Lactose |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Part | 1 Part | 30.1 | 9.9 | 12.0 | 0.5 |
| 3 Parts | 4 Parts | 24.4 | 8.0 | 9.8 | 0.4 |

One part is a volume measurement such as a tablespoon or cup. The volume relationships shown above were calculated from the following weight-volume measurements. All weights were made on level measurements:
| Utensils | Milk Matrix 33/40 Powder Weight | Water Weight |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Tablespoon | 6.4g (33 kcal) | 14.8g |
| 1 Cup | 102.4g (527 kcal) | 236.6g |
Suggested Powder : Water Mixing Ratios for Various Species
- Rabbit, Most Rodents: 1:1
- Squirrel, Opossum: 1:1 ½
- Serval, Caracal, Lion, Tiger, Puma, Wolf: 1:2
- Binturong: 1:3
Directions for Use: As a milk replacer Milk Matrix 33/40 may be used alone or blended with other products in the Matrix family to formulate a milk replacer with nutrient levels that closely match a species’ natural milk.
Directions for Feeding: As a general rule, liquid or reconstituted milk replacer should be fed at a rate of 10% or 20% of body weight daily as tolerated or required for steady growth and for proper stool condition. Divide the total daily amount into 6 to 12 feedings per day, depending on age, condition, species and staffing.
Weaning Food Supplement: Because of its highly digestible milk nutrients, the formula used during suckling is an excellent supplement during weaning as a transition from milk to solid food. Add to the diet at the rate of one teaspoon per 10 pounds of body weight.
Store unopened powder in a cool dry place. Reconstituted powder must be kept refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Blended or unblended opened powder can be refrigerated for up to 3 months, or can be frozen for up to 6 months. Unopened powder may be frozen to extend shelf life for 6 months beyond best by date.
