FEEDING DIRECTIONS: Level Scoop = 40
grams electrolyte powder.
Dehydrated calves, calves with
diarrhea
Mix 80 grams (2 scoops) electrolyte
powder with warm water to make 2 liters electrolyte solution. Feed 2 liters of
resulting electrolyte solution twice daily or as a drench or with a stomach
tube for calves up to 250 lbs. body weight. For calves fed milk or milk
replacer, separate milk and electrolyte solution feeding by at least 30 minutes
or alternately feed milk or electrolyte solution at intervals spaced evenly
throughout day.
Daily feeding during hot weather
Mix at rate of 40 grams (one scoop) per gallon of drinking water to 80 grams (2 scoops) per 5 gallons drinking water.
Space feedings as evenly throughout day as possible and
separate electrolyte feedings from milk / milk replacer feedings by at least 30
minutes to avoid overloading abomasum. Do not mix this electrolyte powder with
milk or milk replacer. Consult veterinarian for proper drenching / tubing
procedures. Discard any mixture not used immediately.
