MaxCare® Electrolyte Premium powder contains dextrose (glucose) as an energy source for calves and has a high Strong Ion Difference (SID) rating. When a scouring calf losses large amounts of sodium and potassium, it can result in metabolic acidosis. The high SID rating of MaxCare Electrolyte Premium will help balance the loss of sodium and potassium as it falls in the recommended range of 60 to 80 mEq/L for a scouring calf. MaxCare® Electrolyte Premium powder also contains an alkalising agent, sodium acetate, to help reverse any metabolic acidosis that may occur within the calf. To assist with glucose absorption, this electrolyte contains the amino acid glycine. Glycine, sodium and glucose are all tied together and play a key role in water uptake and rehydration of the calf.
Feeding rates | Administer 2 L of MaxCare® Electrolyte Premium solution per feed. Calves may require two to four feeds of electrolytes per day depending on level of dehydration. Feed the electrolyte solution as extra meals while still feeding milk or milk replacer. As it does not contain sodium bicarbonate, it can be fed directly before or after milk. |
