Fees the Same as with critical care in that you feed as much as they will take per sitting and as much per 24 hours as is necessary.

Regarding storage, I think it might depend which type you have - some are that you need to make up fresh each meal time, I think others you can store for a few hours but personally I’d just make up fresh each time regardless of the type of recovery feed

It's best to make it up fresh each time, it is so easy to contaminate and end up with bacteria growth I personally wouldn't risk it.
Both the sustain and intensive care versions are mixed at a 1:1 ratio so equal parts dry and warm water, however the sustain can be tweaked to whether you need it thicker or thinner.

Best to get as much into them as they'll take, but 10-20ml is usually the goal depending on how many feeds you're doing per day.

Also just a heads up with the sustain version, as you feed the mixture will likely get thicker as it stands, so you may need to add a little extra water halfway through feedings depending on how long it takes you and what syringe you're using. A 20ml feeding syringe tip would take it up fine but a cut off 1ml and a pig taking their time will likely struggle after a little while.

I hope your piggy is feeling better soon!
