CALF ORAL ELECTROLYTE REVIEW

A review of AHD Calf Oral Electrolytes (COE) from a lovely couple in Wellsford…

“I would expect that you receive a lot of good feedback from farmers about your Calf Oral Electrolytes Replacer. Today I would like to add our names to your list of satisfied customers. My husband and I have reared calves for 40-something years firstly as sharemilkers and then in the last 30 on our small block of 65 acres in Wellsford. Each year we rear between 140 -150 Hereford x calves and the main item in our toolkit is your Electrolyte product.

Yesterday I had a very sick calf, and I did not expect it to recover but within hours of its first treatment of Electrolyte, it was showing some signs of improvement. After regular top-ups during the day the calf was back up on its feet again and looking much brighter. Overnight it drank from its trough a half-strength solution leaving the trough empty this morning. What a difference we saw this morning!

While we aim to keep our calves happy and healthy, the odd one does succumb to illness, and it is really reassuring to know that having your product on hand will help to bring the calf back to full health.

At the ages of 64 and 69, we will only have a few more years left of calf rearing so please keep this product available”.

Kind regards
Rose and Terry Reid
