Brown's Feeds is a family run business going back two generations. It all started when the Brown family was feeding over 400 calves per day and decided to formulate and produce a milk replacer that best suited animals needs. It included innovations like the addition of coconut oil and only using 100% milk proteins. Once the word got out, neighbors and locals wanted to buy their milk replacer and it grew to what it is today!
Over 30 years of working with animals has lead to the creation of the highest quality milk replacers on the market.
Brown's Milk Replacer Grower is designed to feed calves at any age. Formulated with all milk protein and blended fats-including coconut oil- for higher usability, this blend is perfect for your calves. Directions for feeding offer the best results for the calf and value for the farmer. Milk replacers should be mixed in hot (170°F) water in order for the fat to melt and become more usable to the calf. The melting process also bonds the fat to the protein.
When a calf drinks, the milk goes into the abomassum, where it coagulates. The liquid is absorbed by the stomach walls, while the remaining curd proceeds to the intestines. However, certain criteria must be met for the curd to form:
1. The product must be 100% milk protein
2. The dilution must be 12.5% dry matter (1 cup powder: 1 litre dry solution)
3. The fat must be melted and bonded to the protein
