Amplifier Max Calf Milk Replacer Powder — 25 lb
Product description
Product overview:
Amplifier Max by Land O Lakes is a powdered calf milk replacer supplied in 25 lb bags (also available in 50 lb). The formulation combines a specialized blend of fat sources designed to be efficiently utilized by young calves and includes added active microbials to support the gut microbiome and immune function. The manufacturer positions this as delivering greater total gain compared with other 22:20 style products.
What’s included and composition notes:
This product is a dry milk replacer powder that contains multiple fat sources and proprietary feed technologies plus the exclusive active microbials. It is intended to be mixed into water to create milk‑like feedings for calves. Available packaging options include 25 lb and 50 lb bags.
Feeding program and usage:
For optimal performance, feed Amplifier Max in combination with AMPLI‑Calf 20 Starter Feed through 12 weeks of age, then transition to AMPLI‑Calf Grower Feed at about 12–13 weeks through 24 weeks. Begin feeding milk replacer on day 2 after the calf has received colostrum. Always provide clean, fresh water and a palatable calf starter feed on a free‑choice basis alongside milk replacer.
Mixing and feeding instructions:
Per calf, twice daily: mix 0.75 lb of powder with water to yield 2.3 quarts of prepared milk. For larger batches, use 1.5 lb of powder with water to make approximately 1.14 gallons. Use low‑sodium water (<50 ppm) for mixing and feeding. When preparing, mix water at 110–120°F; the target delivery temperature to the calf is about 105°F. For consistent results, weigh powder precisely and follow the feeding schedule closely.
Pros
- Supports immune function with a targeted fat blend
- Includes active microbials to aid gut health
- Clear mixing and feeding program with starter/grower pairing
Cons
- Requires precise weighing and temperature control
- Needs low‑sodium water (<50 ppm) for mixing
- Intended to be used with complementary starter/grower feeds
VerdictA performance-focused milk replacer for calf raisers who want immune and gut support built into the powder. The proprietary fat blend and active microbials aim to improve total gain compared with standard 22:20 formulas. Delivers good results when used with the recommended starter/grower feeds, but it requires accurate weighing, low‑sodium water, and temperature control.
