Maintaining water balance in the calf is unquestionably the most

important factor affecting survival.

 

Along with loss of water, a large amount of electrolytes such as sodium, chloride and potassium, are lost during the diarrheic state.

 

The occurrence of diarrhea in young calves is usually sudden and acute. Early detection and immediate treatment with a well balanced electrolyte solution can be very effective in reducing death loss.

 

Use of a correctly formulated electrolyte is the safest and most economical way to correct dehydration and nutrient imbalances in diarrheic calves.

pathogens and stimulates growth of "friendly bugs" due to the inclusion of non-digestive

 

Poly and Oligosaccharides (FOS).  provides calf with glucose as a fast release source of energy.

 

is easy to use, safe, fast acting, and cost effective. 

 

THE ADDITION OF  POLY AND OLIGOSACCHARIDES (FOS) IMPROVES HEALTH:

Scour (diarrhea) is a severe challenge to the calf's immune system. Treatments with antibiotics have become common practice to improve the calf's health and performance. As there is not much left of the natural barrier function of the remaining intestinal flora, a permanent control of the intestinal flora by antibiotics is often the method of choice.

 

Several years of large scale use of Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) in Europe by veal and swine producers have shown that at least equal results can be obtained feeding FOS without the standard antibiotic additives.

 

FOS is a highly soluble spray-dried white powder form of inulin from chicory. It contains a mixture of oligosaccharides and polysaccharides made of fructose units.

 

FOS, when used properly, provides a valuable alternative to antibiotic use.
