Palatable and Digestible
The unique formulation of milk proteins provides Opti-Lac Baby Pig Milk Replacer with optimum palatability to encourage early consumption and rapid gains.

Management Tips
FEEDING TIPS:
- Reconstituted, acidified formula remains fresh up to 24 hours due to acids and preservatives.
- Adjust quantities according to appetite.
- Avoid overfeeding to reduce risk of scours.
- Wean pigs at 10 to 12 pounds of body weight.
- Ensure adequate feeder space for all pigs in group.
- For orphan and surplus pigs, raise in groups of eight to 10 pigs for best results.
- Hygiene is important. Keep feeding equipment clean.
GENERAL TIPS:
- To be successful, pigs should receive colostrum from the sow for the first 12 hours after birth. Cow colostrum may be used when sow colostrum is unavailable.
- The pen should be clean, dry, warm and free of draft. (About 90° to 92° F the first three days of age.)
- Provide fresh, clean water at all times.
- Begin offering Hubbard FIRST COURSE® Early-Weaning Prestarter at five to seven days of age.
- Disinfect navels at birth and inject with iron before third day.
