Cat Breeding & Reproductive Supplements

A wide range of latex teats are available with a sleeve to fit bottles with a neck diameter of 18-24mm. See also the Wombaroo Feeding bottle in our store which fits these teats.

Teats should resemble mothers in shape and length for mouth comfort, fit and correct tooth eruption. Marsupial teats get longer as the joey grows, so progression to longer teats is important. Individual carers will be able to decide which is the best for their individual animal.

Shapes and suggested uses below (scroll down to see a larger image of teat shapes):

STM - Small in-pouch kangaroos, wallabies, possums
MTM - In-pouch kangaroos, wallabies, koalas
TM - Out of pouch kangaroos and wallabies
FM - Out of pouch kangaroos, wombats, koalas
SD - Small dogs, possums, gliders
LD - Large dogs, possums, wombats, koalas
C - Cats, rabbits, carnivorous marsupials
F - Flying fox, some breeds of dog
P - Small mammals, cats, rabbits
D - Deer, 26mm finish to fit larger bottles

Wombaroo Latex Teats are handmade with natural latex using hand cast moulds. For example 40 different moulds are used in the manufacture of the FM size teat. As such some minor variation between teats can be expected which in no way affects the quality of the product.

Colostrum contains high levels of immunoglobulins and antibacterials such as lactoferrin, lysozyme and lactoperoxidase that provide immunity and intestinal protection to young animals. Impact Colostrum Supplement is made from powdered bovine colostrum with added lactalbumin, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, vitamins and minerals.

Feed to newborn eutherians in the first 48 hours and marsupials until weaning.

DIRECTIONS FOR EUTHERIANS
This applies to all domestic animals including cats, dogs, rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, horses, alpacas, cows, sheep, pigs & deer. Also used for eutherian wildlife and zoo mammals.

Impact should be fed as soon as possible after birth, and preferably before milk is fed. Impact can be absorbed for upto 48 hours after birth, depending on the species. Weigh the animal and select the appropriate weight range from the chart. Mix the amounts of Impact powder and warm pre-boiled water to make the daily Impact requirement. Refrigerate prepared Impact for one day only or store frozen in ice cube trays for up to 1 month.

Do not mix or feed Impact with milk for Eutherians.

Newborns that have not received maternal colostrum or milk.

First 12 hours: Do not feed milk during this time. Prepare a daily dose of Impact as described above and feed 1/4 of the amount every 2 hours.

Next 36 hours: Commence feeding milk every 4 hours. Prepare a daily dose of Impact as described above and feed 1/4 of the amount every 4 hours. Feed Impact 2 hours after the first milk feed so that the remaining Impact feeds are mid way between the next milk feeds.

Newborns that have received some milk but no maternal colostrum.

First 12 hours: Stop feeding milk. Prepare a daily dose of Impact as described above and feed 1/4 of the amount every 2 hours.

Next 36 hours: Recommence feeding milk. Prepare a daily dose of Impact as described above and feed 1/4 of the amount mid way between milk feeds.


DIRECTIONS FOR MARSUPIALS
Marsupials are different in that they do not produce a colostral milk. Impact is added to marsupial milk because intestinal closure occurs later in marsupiaIs and immunoglobulins are present in milk for much of lactation.

Mix and feed Impact with milk for marsupials.

For very early lactation to mid lactation: Select the appropriate amount of Impact powder for body weight from the chart. Mix the powder into the required daily volume of milk and feed as usual. This procedure may be repeated for up to 5 days.

For late lactation: Select the appropriate amount of Impact for body weight from the chart and add this to the normal daily feed volume of milk. Repeat if required.

ABOUT LOW LACTOSE MILKS

Low lactose milk products are normally prepared from cow's milk using the enzyme lactase to convert milk lactose into its component sugars, glucose and galactose. This process does not alter the nature or composition of protein or fat in cow's milk, which can be quite inappropriate for other mammal species.

Milk protein is composed of two main fractions, casein and whey protein. Cow's milk protein contains about 20% whey protein. Protein in the milk of animals such as puppies, kittens, foals, piglets and marsupials contains up to 50% whey protein. Whey protein has more essential amino acids than casein so products made simply from modified cow's milk are likely to be nutritionally deficient for other species.

The fat in cow's milk is about 40% unsaturated and 60% saturated. Cow's milk is also low in several essential omega-3 fatty acids. Fat in the milk of many other animals can be up to 65% unsaturated and contain high levels of linolenic acid, an important omega-3 fatty acid.

Formula One is a superior low lactose milk product for more animals because:

Formula One is made from individual ingredients blended together to produce a milk that is low in lactose yet contains more whey protein, unsaturated fat and omega-3 fatty acids than lactase modified cow's milk products.

Formula One contains added taurine, an essential nutrient for cats, about 50% whey protein and 65% unsaturated fat of which some 10% is omega-3 fatty acids.
