If the milk replacer is in a can then you would have to consult the can for information on storage and use. The animal(s) being fed are small (typically, canned milk replacer is for smaller animals, i.e. kitten, dog, squirrel, etc) so you would be feeding them small servings of food multiple times a day. Then you'd have to take into consideration how many babies your feeding. Milk replacer comes in small cans, 3 or 4 oz., so if you're feeding a litter of babies how long an opened can of milk replacer lasts wouldn't be an issue. Even if you're only feeding one baby a can would be consumed in one to two days.
If the milk replacer is powdered it will last indefinitely in it's powdered form only if it has been consistently stored in a dry cool place. If it gets wet it will mold, sometimes powdered milk replacer will harden, (like brown sugar in a box.) If that happens you can use a cheese grater to get it back into it's powdered form. When feeding you'd only mix enough milk replacer for that one feeding. If Anything is leftover it would be thrown away.

Can you use whole milk instead of milk replacer when feeding calves?
Straight, unpasteurized milk from a cow, or powdered milk that is derived from unpasteurized milk (see your local large animal vet for the best milk replacer, as brands are sometimes different between countries/states/provinces, but basically are the same). NO SOY MILK REPLACER OR ANY MILK REPLACE THAT COMES FROM PLANT-BASED "MILK." Soy replacer is bad for calves because it doesn't contain the same amount of fats, proteins and calcium, among other nutrients, that is in cow's milk. You will kill your calf faster if you feed plant-based "milk" replacer than if you feed the real milk-based replacer.
