Ingredients:
Complete milk replacer for newborn and orphaned kittens. Containing DHA, taurine, vitamins and minerals. For weaning, and pregnant, lactating, sick or convalescing cats.
Complete Diet:
For un-weaned kittens. It is important to weigh young kittens on a daily basis so that you can compare their daily growth increase with the growth tables from your breeder or vet. Recommended dilution: Using the scoop provided, add 31g (7 level scoops) to 100ml warm water. 1 litre of prepared Beaphar Lactol Kitten Milk contains approximately 1250 kcal.
Use the table below for approximate feeding guidelines. The volume per day MUST be split across the recommended number of feeds per day:
| Weight | Volume per day | Age (days) | Number of feeds per day |
| 100g (0.1kg) | 50ml | 2-7 | 6-12 (including overnight) |
| 200g (0.2kg) | 80ml | 8-21 | 8 (including overnight) |
| 400g (0.4kg) | 135ml | 22-28 | 6-8 (including one overnight) |
| 600g (0.6kg) | 180ml | 29-35 | 4-6 |
| 1000g (1kg) | 250ml | 36*-42* | 3* |
After the 36th day, slowly change to a more solid diet, i.e. kitten food. Beaphar Lactol can be used to assist weaning. Mix prepared Beaphar Lactol Kitten Milk with a small amount of kitten food, gradually decreasing the volume of milk and increasing the amount of solid food each day.
