No additional information provided on storage of products. As shown, the two manufacturers provide guidance that is consistent in some respects - store reconstituted powder in liquid form in the refrigerator and use within 24 hours. PetAg provides more complete guidance about storing previously opened containers of powder and says to store no more than 3 months refrigerator to 6 months freezer. Fox Valley provides no such similar guidance, other than to use the product before the expiration date, suggesting no difference in storage time or temperature recommendations between an unopened or opened package.
What is the reason for discarding reconstituted formula after just 24 hours? Fortunately, there are steps that a rehabilitator can pursue with proper storage methods that can help ensure optimal product freshness.
The following discussion provides simple and easy steps that a rehabilitator can consider. Give more attention to the actual purchase of the product. Both manufacturers instruct YOU to store in a cool, dry place.
What about all the others involved in storage and transit along the way from PetAg to you? Are they all keeping it in a cool, dry place? This can be especially troublesome on cross-country ground shipping days in hot summer months. Additionally, metallic mailboxes located in direct sunlight for just a few hours can attain very high temps.
All of this to say that while YOU as the end-user of the product may store the unopened container in a cool, dry place, its journey to you may have included exposures to warm or even hot temperatures and for unknown periods of time. A number of rehabilitators plan ahead and order enough product for the upcoming season during the winter months to reduce the powder becoming hot during transport and delivery. While PetAg takes precise measures to ensure that product leaving the facility is good, there is always the possibility that product may become compromised in transit, delivery, storage, or on a retail store shelf.
For this reason, the expiration or best-by date is not always an indicator as to whether the milk replacer should be used If circumstances require ordering during warmer or summer months, consider expedited shipping to minimize transit time and purchasing smaller quantities sufficient to cover only immediate needs until the next year-end buying opportunity.
Another strategy to help ensure freshness when ordering is to contact the manufacturer, supplier, or vendor and request information on specific lot numbers for the products being ordered. It may be several months before the product will be used to feed animals.
Purchasing a specific lot that is already 6 months past the manufacture date may push actual product use well past the mid-point of the expiration date and cause some of the product age-related problems mentioned previously. Seek those lot numbers that are no more than months past manufacture and stipulate those specific lot numbers for the order. Once received, properly store unopened packages. As discussed above, simply storing at room temperature will compromise the performance and nutrition of the product over time.
If room temp is the only option, consider only buying enough product for short-term needs. Storing in an outside shed or garage or other area without air conditioning would present an even higher risk to the product — and the animals that consume it.
Carefully store opened packages. A common strategy is to use a new, unopened package of powder from the freezer, open and remove enough powder for immediate use next weeks , and then tightly seal the package and return to the freezer.
Store the immediate use portion in an airtight container in the refrigerator; remove as much as needed when preparing the next batch of formula; and then tightly reseal and return to the refrigerator. Set a maximum time for storing reconstituted powdered milk. Both milk replacer manufacturers specify discarding any unused milk after just 24 hours in the refrigerator.
