Forum Scour proof extra for calves. Administered for the particular nutritional purpose of stabilising water and electrolyte balance in calves. It is intended for use in cases of risk of, during periods of, or recovery from digestive disturbance (diarrhoea).
A pinkish-brown powder which is a dietetic feed source of predominantly electrolytes and easily absorbed carbohydrates.
Whatever the cause of the digestive disturbance (diarrhoea) stabilisation of water and electrolyte balance is vital. It is the best way to ensure diarrhoeic calves do not suffer irreversible dehydration and die. Scourproof® Extra’s includes:
Scourproof® Extra’s UNIQUE TRIPLE-ACTION FORMULATION
- Sodium and glucose helping to reverse dehydration - Scourproof® Extra is based on sodium and glucose. Both these ingredients stimulate the absorption of water from the gut thereby helping to reverse dehydration. Scourproof® Extra supplies energy towards the calf’s daily requirement.
- Bicarbonate to correct any acidosis - Scourproof® Extra contains ingredients that, once absorbed, supply bicarbonate to neutralize acids.
- Ispaghula husk - This unique fibre swells in the presence of water. And, when included in a dietetic feeding stuff for oral administration, it thickens the contents of the gut. As a result, fluids pass more slowly through the intestine. This allows more time for the absorption of water from the intestine. Thereby reducing loss of fluid through diarrhoea.
