4.2
INDICATIONS FOR USE, SPECIFYING THE TARGET SPECIES
This product is an oral rehydration product indicated for the reversal
of the
processes of dehydration, electrolyte loss and acidosis associated
with scour
in calves whether due to nutritional, bacterial, viral or
cryptospiridial causes.
This product is specifically formulated to provide both high levels of
sodium
(90mmol/l) to enable rapid water absorption and also to provide
increased
bicarbonate precursors for the correction of acidosis. The increased
glucose
level provides more energy for the calf without interfering with
rehydration.
