Milk replacer
for kittens and food supplement for adult cats containing Colostrum, DHA and
Viable (live) naturally occurring micro-organisms
Pro-Biolac
is a nutritionally complete milk replacer to be fed as a nutritional
supplement when the supply of queen's milk is inadequate or as the sole
ration for orphan kittens. When indicated, Pro-Biolac
may be used to fortify the ration of queens to help meet the increased
nutritional requirements in late gestation and early lactation. Whenever
possible kittens should receive colostrum (queen's first milk) for the first
2 days, since this supplies antibodies essential to disease resistance in
early life.
50 g size:
Feeding
Instructions: Reconstituted Pro-Biolac solution
should be fed at body temperature. Use of a nurser bottle is recommended.
Feed kittens at least 2 tablespoons (30ml) per 4 ounces (113g) of body
weight daily. Divide the daily feeding amount into equal portions for each
feeding. For the first 4 days of feeding Pro-Biolac
the daily amount should be divided into 6 to 8 feedings. The number of
feedings can then be gradually reduced to 4 per day (dividing the daily
volumes into 4 equal parts). Kittens should be allowed to consume as much
formula as they want during each feeding. Stool consistency provides a
measure of the appropriate feeding level. If diarrhea develops, consult your
veterinarian for advice. Cleanliness of feeding equipment (nursing
bottle/bowl) is extremely important. Always wash with hot soapy water. Rinse
and dry well after each use.
Pregnant and
lactating queens: Feed 2 teaspoons (4g) per 5 lbs. (2.2 kg) body weight
daily until 2 weeks after queening.
Directions:
To make 8 fl. oz. of Pro-Biolac, add warm water
approximately halfway to fill line. Shake well. Then fill of all the way to
fill line with warm water and shake until all powder is dissolved.
Refrigerate after mixing. Discard if not used within 24 hours after mixing.
To mix less than 8oz. of formula, add 2 parts powder to 3 parts warm water
and mix until all powder is dissolved.
200 g size:
Mixing
Instructions: Using the enclosed (1 Tbsp.) scoop, add 2 scoops powder to
3 scoops warm water. Mix until all powder is dissolved. This dilution will
make approximately 60 ml (2 oz.) of formula. Do not prepare more formula
than can be used in 24 hours. Refrigerate reconstituted formula.
Feeding
Instructions: Feed reconstituted formula at body temperature. Use of a
nurser bottle is recommended. Feed kittens at least 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of
formula per 4 ounces (113 g) of body weight daily. Divide the daily feeding
amount into equal portions for each feeding. Smaller or younger kittens will
need to be fed 6 to 8 times daily. Older and larger kittens may do well
being fed 4 times per day. Allow kittens to eat as much formula as they want
during each feeding. Increase or decrease the amount fed based on the
individual needs of each kitten. If diarrhea develops, consult your
veterinarian for advice. Always wash feeding and mixing utensils with hot
soapy water, rinse well, and dry after each use.
Weaning
Kittens: When kittens are old enough to lap, begin offering
reconstituted formula in a shallow bowl. After kittens begin lapping from a
bowl, begin mixing reconstituted formula with small amounts of kitten food
to make a thin gruel. Gradually increase the amount of kitten food and
decrease the amount of formula until kittens are eating only kitten food.
Ensure that fresh water is always available.
Pregnant and
lactating queens: Feed 2 teaspoons (4g) per 5 lbs. (2.2 kg) body weight
daily until 2 weeks after queening.
Growing
Kittens, Show Cats and Convalescing Cats: Supplement regular ration with
1 teaspoon (2g) of Pro-Biolac per 5 lbs. (2.2kg)
body weight daily.
