Mixing Recommendations

• 125-150 g per litre, (i.e. add 1 kg Gusto-V-Whey powder to 6-7 litres of water).

• Add the required amount of powder to half the volume of hot water (50-55°C) under continuous mixing for at least a minute. Add more water until the total amount of calf milk required is reached.

• Check the milk is fed at 38-40°C (optimum drinking temperature).

• Gusto-V-Whey also works well in Automated Calf Feeders.

Feeding Recommendations

Gusto V-Whey can be used successfully in many different calf feeding programmes for calves over 4 days of age, as long as the calf rearer adheres to the basic principles of good calf rearing (colostrum, hygiene, clean water, dry bedding , comfort etc.).

As a general rule, calves should be fed at least 10% of their body weight of Gusto-V-Whey each day. E.g. A 50 kg calf would receive 2 x 2.5 litres with 125 g/liter, i.e. 625 grams of Gusto-V-Whey/day.

In practice under good management and in Once A Day systems Gusto-V-whey can be fed in more concentrated form up to 250 g/litre.
