Feeding Allmilk, what ratio?

I need to know the ratio of powdered allmilk to water for a 2 week old calf. Thanks!

It depends on the product. Mixing instructions should appear on the bag. Here are the instructions that appear on ALL MILK 22-20 w/ Bio-Mos NON-MEDICATED


MIXING DIRECTIONS

For an accelerated growth program (recommended),add 12 oz of milk replacer powder to 2 quarts of 110 to 120°F water, and mix thoroughly. For large batches, mix 7.5lbs of milk replacer powder to 5 gallons of 110 to 120°F water.

For a conventional programadd 10oz of milk replacer powder to 2 quarters of 110 to 120°F water, and mix thoroughly. For large batches mix 6.25lbs of milk replacer powder to 5 gallons of 110 to 120°F water.

Please feed at the 12 oz rate. Yes higher up front cost on replacer, you will be amazed what that extra 2 oz will do.
