Mode of Function:

 

•  Low Concentration Sodium (Na):  Acts as the primary driver for water absorption in the small intestine.

•  Low Concentration Potassium (K): Targets stress-related dehydration specifically. Replaces potassium

    lost during environmental or handling stress.

•  Dextrose / Glucose:  Provides an immediate, rapid energy source for the animal. Facilitates the active

    transport of sodium across the gut wall.

•  Robust palatants: proven to improve voluntary fluid intake compared to plain water. Water intake and

    grain intake are highly correlated. Keeping calves hydrated during heat stress is imperative.

•  Low-Level Alkalizing Agents:  Avoids sodium bicarbonate as it sustains a high gastrointestinal tract pH

    resulting in proliferation of E coli and salmonella. 

 

Strategic Advantages

​​​

•  Calves love it: Improves fluid intake keeping calves hydrated during heat & other stressors and drives

    grain intake.

•  Economical: Cost effective, optimal low feeding rate and optimum concentrations of electrolytes and

    blood buffers

•  Targeted Use: Reserves high-power electrolytes specifically for clinical scouring cases.

•   Safety: Minimizes the risk of metabolic issues associated with over-supplementation
