[QUOTE="Grazer, post: 4048096, member: 45586"] I did 4 litres down a tube within a couple of hours born, but rearers complained some weren't hungry for 36 to 48 hrs after that before they could get them to sook. Dropped it to 3 now, but early days. After that straight onto auto feeder. Batch calved so all same age anyway. Tried Oad before, where they got 2 litres of double strength milk. Great results from better conc consumption. Not sure why I didn't do it again. I'll start it up again this autumn block for some batches. If a 20 litre bucket of water needs a pot and a half of powder to make to correct strength, the 10 calve group either got 20 litres waste milk, with a pot and a half powder in it, or 20 litres where with 3 pots in it. Worked grand. [/QUOTE]
