What is the best way to store milk replacer?
A cool, dry place out of direct sunlight is the best place to store milk replacer powder and other related dry supplement products. Most dry milk replacers can be sealed tightly and frozen to extend shelf life up to a year past the shelf life expected at room temperature. Once milk replacer powder has been mixed with water, it should be refrigerated promptly to slow bacterial growth. Re-warm refrigerated milk replacer solution gently over a warm water bath (microwaving is not recommended), and discard any leftover refrigerated milk replacer after 24 hours. Liquid colostrum and electrolytes solutions should not be stored after mixing – it is best to discard and start with fresh powder and water.
