Feeding Instructions
Feed at a rate of 4 to 6 oz per head per day to dry cows.
FEEDING DIRECTIONS:
FEED 11-22 GM MONENSIN/TON OF TOTAL DIET DRY MATTER INTAKE.
This converts to 5.5-11.0 mg of monensin per lb of DMI.
FOR DRY COWS : Assuming 25 lb of DMI, feed 11 mg per 1 lb of DMI or 275 mg monensin per head per day.
FOR LACTATING cows : Assuming 50 lb of DMI, feed 5.5 mg. per 1 lb of DMI or 275 mg monensin per head per day.
For a detailed feeding program, contact your Poulin Grain sales representative.
WARNING: DO NOT FEED TO SHEEP OR HORSES. DO NOT EXCEED 0.30 PPM OF SELENIUM IN THE TOTAL RATION. FEED AS SOLE SOURCE OF SALT.
Dairy Feeding Guidelines
For Calves and Heifers:
Feed large breed calves 4 quarts of high quality colostrum within 2 hours of birth and again 12 hours later. Adjust amounts for small breed calves. If colostrum quality or quantity is low, consider using a colostrum supplement or replacer.
Offer free choice water from day 2.
Offer free choice calf starter from day 3, starting with a small amount, and increasing as they begin to eat. Calves weaned at 8 weeks of age or less should be consuming 3-4 pounds of starter grain per head per day. Never let calves go without available starter.
Wean calves off milk over a 10-16 day period.
At 12 weeks, gradually switch to heifer grower pellet, offering increasing amounts of hay.
Milk Replacer Feeding:
See product tag for feeding guidelines for optimal biologic growth.
Weigh MR powder every feeding for accuracy and consistency.
Mix MR powder in 110-120° F. water. Feed to calves soon thereafter, at 105° F.
Mix MR powder thoroughly with half of the desired final liquid volume. Add water to reach final volume and temperature; mix or whisk solution thoroughly. Feed immediately.
For large mixing batches, agitate while dispensing to individual feeding containers to prevent settling.
Acidified Milk Replacer Feeding:
Check milk replacer solution pH prior to feeding to ensure 4.0-4.5 pH.
Keep at 70-90°F after mixing and feed free choice via nipple feeder.
Mix fresh every 24-28 hours.
Keep equipment, nipples and hoses clean daily.
