Sacrolyte is used to stabilise the water and electrolyte imbalance that occurs in calves and piglets during periods of stress, such as weaning or digestive disturbance (diarrhoea) during illness. Diarrhoea or scour prevents the absorption of fluids and essential vitamins, minerals and trace elements from the intestine. This will leave the scouring animal weak and dehydrated. Sacrolyte is composed of easily absorbable carbohydrate, chelated minerals, vitamins and trace elements which offers a simple solution to replace these vital minerals and electrolytes lost during this period. It also possesses a unique gelling agent which has the ability to retain water and slows down the movement of undigested food through the gut. Dose & Administration • Calf & pig - Add the contents of one scoop or sachet (100g) to 2.5 litres (½ gallon) of water or milk/milk replacer and mix thoroughly while adding; • This amount should be fed twice daily for two days or more, if necessary; • Sacrolyte may be mixed with warm or cold water, however, piglets prefer a warm solution; • At weaning time, feed Sacrolyte ad lib to the backward pigs;
