Description
Each dose of AHD Electrolyte Booster solution, when made up as per instructions, contains Dextrose, Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Citrate and Glycine.
* Citrate is a bicarbonate precursor, reducing problems associated with a high pH in the abomasum seen when bicarbonate alone is used as an alkalising agent.
Directions and usage:
Dissolve 80g of electrolyte powder in 2 litres of clean water.
USAGE RECOMMENDATIONS
Scouring Calves
Day 1 give 2 litres of the electrolyte solution, mixed as directed, three times daily. Total of 6 litres (240g of electrolyte salts)
Day 2 give 2 litres of the electrolyte solution, mixed as directed, twice daily. Total of 4 litres (160g of electrolyte salts)
Day 3 give 1 litre of the electrolyte solution, mixed as directed and one litre of milk or milk replacer. Separate feeding of electrolyte and milk or milk replacer by a minimum of 15 minutes, (preferably by 4 hours).
PRECAUTIONS
- Administer Electrolytes to calves using a suitable oral dosing tube or bottle.
- Once prepared, discard unused solution after 24 hours.
- Do not use electrolyte solution to dilute milk. Diluted milk does not form a clot and may itself induce scours.
- If withholding milk or milk replacer, reintroduce gradually over a period of 1 to 2 days.
- Consult your veterinarian if the condition persists.
- Read instructions and precautions on product label.
Dosage for Lambs/Goat Kids:
Based on a 4kg body weight is 8g to 200ml water.
