Mixing Instructions

  1. First determine the number of litres of milk to be fed.
  2. Measure half of this volume as hot (47-60 degree) water.
  3. To determine the amount of powder use a scale and weigh 150g times the number of litres of milk to be fed. (eg. 20L of milk requires 20 x 150g which equals 3kg of powder.)
  4. Add this milk replacer to the hot water and mix until dissolved.
  5. Add remaining water to obtain desired volume aiming for a final drinking temperature of 40 C. Re-mix prior to feeding.

  • We are extremely happy with the way the Mapleview product mixes, and the way the machine cleans easily afterwards. It mixes better than any previous products we’ve used. The milk replacer smells great, and we know that with the high-quality ingredients we don’t need to worry about adding other supplements. The calves are growing exceptionally well, gaining over 2.5 lbs/day!

  • We have been using Mapleview milk replacers for 8 years now. We love how nicely it mixes, both in our calf feeder, and when we hand mix individual bottles. Our calves like the taste and have always grown very well on it!
