Homemade Milk Replacer

[beardielover17]

as i was studying for school i came across a homemade milk replacer recipe if you can't get some of the commercial stuff...this is right out of my vet assistant text book

Homemade Milk Replacer
• 1 cup of milk
• 1 tablespoon corn syrup
• 3 egg yolks
• A drop or two of human liquid multivitamin
• A pinch of salt
Keep in mind that any milk replacer can cause diarrhea.

idk if this will be useful to anyone but its always good to know

Thanks Candice.
I've used that recipe before and it's pretty good. I think it's the corn syrup that gives the diarrhea tho. When I was born, there was no baby formula. Our parents fed us Carnation Milk in a can diluted with some water and a tsp of karo syrup. The syrup is still needed for the mix to have the sugars and all mesh well......but i thought it funny.
I've also used dried milk to substitute
