Yoghurtised Milk
Why Yoghurtised Milk?
All Lamb Care Australia lambs must be on yoghurtised milk as it almost totally removes the risk of abomasal bloat by taking away the lactose which causes a bloat episode. It is an easy process that, so long as you are organized, will not be difficult. The following measurements will make 4 litres of milk. Halve quantities to make 2 litres.
We currently use Maxcare milk powder so the instructions below are for that brand. If you are using a different formula, please follow the directions on the packet to get the correct powder amount.
