if the mare isn't dead try to get it some milk from its mom b/c the first milk tht is in the mom's sack is thick and full of vitamins & antioxidents for the baby's immune system. but you probably can b/c i did w/ my goats, i just pop the baby bottle in the microwave to get it a LITTLE warm not 2 hot u dont want to burn the babys tounge!! (this is only if it comes out of the jug/ store)this is sorta like the milk coming from the mom WARM not hot!!....
but if the mare is dead heres an alternative:
if you go to a farm store (tractor's supply, co-op, faulders) there is powdered milk for just about any little animal you want it comes in like a 5-10 pound bag / a bucket, (i know b/c of my goats) & costs around 20-30 bucks.......
u can go with my opinion/answer but wht do i know im just a 15 year old teenage w/ a LOT OF 1ST HAND EXPERIENCE WITH THESE THINGS!!!!!!

∙ 10y agoYes, but colostrum is far better to feed to newborns, especially calves that have just been born and are less than 12 hours old. After 24 to 36 hours you can start feeding them whole milk (gradually introduce "normal" milk from colostrum!!), however milk replacer formula specially made for calves is better because it's a mimic of the unpastuerized milk that comes straight from a cow.
