[QUOTE="Keren, post: 560578, member: 3195"] Hi loch, :shock: I cant imagine rearing a foal from birth to wean on DiVetelact. It is really good stuff though, I would raise animals solely on it if it wasnt so dear. The lamb is doing pretty well at the moment. She's had copious amounts of protexin (similar to the stuff you mentioned I think) and hasnt had a lot of effect, but my bottle babies get protexin routinely after the first two days (colostrum), they get it in the bottle of DiVetelact for five days. I can get DiVetelact in a bucket I think its 10kg for $130? Could be a 10kg I'm not sure. I'm beginning to think she is lactose intolerant, as the DiVetelact is very low lactose while the Palastart is quite high, being formulated mainly for calves. The next lot of goats at work will be kidding from the 1 August, so if the lamb is still alive then I will 'rent' a doe from work and try her on goats milk, which is naturally low lactose. I dont have anything currently milking at the moment. Thanks for your help and ideas. Keren. [/QUOTE]
