Marsupials are different in that they do not produce a colostral milk because intestinal closure occurs later in marsupials & immunoglobulins are present in
milk for much of lactation.

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 daily required volume of milk and feed as usual . This procedure may be repeated for up to 5 days.
For late lactation ( Wombaroo > 0.7 ) :

this to the normal daily feed volume of milk . Repeat as required .
