All triplets and quads get 4 ounces at birth with a tube. I believe it makes a huge difference in their start. I do not have any bottle babies. The flock is half done lambing and right now I have 9 set of triplets and a set of quads being raised by the ewes. My flock is 1/4 Romanov.

This is a good product for those newborns that need colostrum. My only problem with this product is that the texture is almost grainy and you must beat it to get a smooth consistency or it is very lumpy and does not go through the nipple smoothly. Despite that I would recommend this product as it has been the only good colostrum replacer I have found.

My kids love this stuff. Once they get a taste they want to eat it all the time. I use it to supplement their mom's and it has worked out well.

Excellent product but it was not clarified how many servings it would actually do.

Use warm water & a wisp like they recommend, and a lot of patience, but is reassuring to have have on hand for when needed!!!
