DIRECTIONS FOR
EUTHERIANS.
Weigh the animal and select the appropriate weight range from
the chart. Mix the amounts of Impact powder and warm pre-boiled
water to make the daily Impact requirement. Refrigerate prepared Impact
for one day only or store frozen in ice cube trays for up to 1 month.
Do not mix or feed Impact with milk.
Newborns that have not received maternal colostrum or milk.
First 12 hours: Do not feed milk during this time.
Prepare a daily dose of Impact as described above and feed 1/4 of the
amount every 2 hours.
Next 36 hours: Commence feeding milk every 4 hours.
Prepare a daily dose of Impact as described above and feed 1/4 of
the amount every 4 hours. Feed Impact 2 hours after the first milk
feed so that the remaining Impact feeds are mid way between
the next milk feeds.
Newborns that have received some milk but no maternal colostrum.
First 12 hours: Stop feeding milk. Prepare a daily dose
of Impact as described above and feed 1/4 of the amount every 2
hours.
Next 36 hours: Recommence feeding milk. Prepare a daily
dose of Impact as described above and feed 1/4 of the amount mid
way between milk feeds.

DIRECTIONS FOR MARSUPIALS.
Marsupials are different in that they do not produce a
colostral milk. Impact is added to marsupial milk because
intestinal closure occurs later in marsupiaIs and immunoglobulins are present in
milk for much of lactation. (Pictured is "Archie", our hand-raised Joey
- click here to visit him!)
Mix and feed Impact with milk.
For very early lactation to mid lactation
(Wombaroo (0.4
to 0.6):
Select the appropriate amount of Impact powder for
body weight from the chart. Mix the powder into the required daily volume of
milk and feed as usual. This procedure may be repeated for up to 5 days.
For late lactation (Wombaroo
(0.7):
Select the appropriate amount of Impact
for body weight from the chart and add this to the normal daily feed volume
of milk. Repeat if required
