[QUOTE="Buck Randall, post: 1613158, member: 38590"] Very interesting. If any products are labeled that way in the states, I'm not aware of them. Here's a good article that explains proper mixing of milk replacer and the appropriate percentage of total solids. https://www.dairyherd.com/article/total-solids-milk-replacer-it-matters The percentage of total solids in cow milk isn't always consistent, but the cow can get away with it because milk is more digestible than milk replacer. Substituting milk replacer for water near weaning is a nice way to transition calves away from drinking milk. In our climate, you just have to be really careful that you aren't filling their stomachs with too much water and not enough calories. Calves can go backward quickly when the temperature goes below freezing. [/QUOTE]
