Di-Vetelact® Original is a functional product beneficial for all marsupials, including Kangaroo, Wallaby, Wombat, Possum, Koala, and Tasmanian Devil, through all growth stages, while being cared for in a controlled feeding environment.
Di-Vetelact® Original is a single formula to be used at the age related dilution, across all growth stages. This is beneficial to the carer and the marsupial as there is no required transition period associated with changing formulas, and greatly reduces the risk of nutritional and physiological stress on the animal in care.
Di-Vetelact® Original is well absorbed and provides a health promoting, purposefully balanced nutrient source without causing diarrhoea and associated scouring from lactose malabsorption as it contains glucose and galactose which are the broken down components of lactose, as marsupials cannot break down disaccharide, lactose sugars.
Di-Vetelact® Original meets daily protein, fat and associated calorie requirements, and supplies beneficial vitamins and minerals in an optimal nutrient profile. This assists marsupials reach their growth potential and maximum health for re-release. Contains calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, vitamin D and all the essential amino acids necessary to help with bone and tissue growth, tryptophan and B vitamins to assist in calming and stabilising during times of stress and supplies sulphur amino acids, methionine and cysteine for glossy fur growth.

MILK REPLACER
Directions for Feeding :
Approximately 10-20mL of liquid Di-Vetelact® Original per 100g of body weight daily.
Some species can tolerate more or less, ideal volume will depend on the age, condition, species and dilution used. Feed joeys new into care little and often until condition and digestive tolerance is assessed. Slowly increase volume accordingly. Most animals have the ability to self regulate their intake and will generally take as much as they need, however care must be taken with joeys so to not overfeed or underfeed. This is a guide only and carers should consult with an experienced Wildlife Co-ordinater to establish what will suit each individual joey best.
The daily feeding amount should be divided into equal portions for each feeding.
*All marsupial young should have received their mother’s early colostrum rich milk. The early colostrum milk helps with immunity due to its high concentration of the antibodies IgA and IgG which protect against viruses and bacteria. For furless marsupials, speak to your vet about a colostrum supplement
Dehydrated Rescues
For new and unwell marsupials dilution can be supplied at 1 scoop : 70mL.
Early Lactation : Furless Pinkie
Di-Vetelact® Original milk replacer can be adjusted to match the dilute milk suited to infant fur-less marsupials supplied at 1 scoop : 60mL.
Middle Lactation : Pouch emerging
As the marsupial begins to develop fur, grows bigger and is feeding less often and hence requires higher levels of fat, the milk can be adjusted to be more concentrated supplied at 1 scoop: 50mL.
Late Lactation : Young at foot
Once the marsupial is spending a lot of time out of the pouch and drinking water independently a dilution can be supplied at 1 scoop : 40mL.
