My Problem with Merrick's is that there is copper in the replacer......not enough to hurt a lamb? One of the college sites I found suggested this formula:

crude protein- 22-24%
crude fat- 25-35%
crude fiber- 0.5-1%
lactose- 22-25%
ash- 5-8%
Vit. A- 20000 IU per pound
Vit. D- 5000 IU per pound
Vit. E- 50-100 IU per pound

For my first bottle lamb, I purchased Merricks from Premier or Pipestone (can't remember which) because the ad said it was the easiest to dissolve
