LAND O LAKES® Electrolyte Base can be fed as an early intervention before transportation, upon arrival as part of receiving protocol, when calves are undergoing heat stress, or at the first signs of scours (scour score 2) when no other signs of dehydration are visible.
LAND O LAKES® Electrolyte Add Pack can be ADDED to LAND O LAKES® Electrolyte Base at the first visible signs of dehydration, such as sunken yes, pale gums, tented skin, milk depression or weakness, or when calves have more severe scours (scour score 2 to 3).
Features & Benefits
Two-Part System
The two-part system allows flexibility to meet your calves’ needs. Feed the Base at the first signs of calf scours, before visible signs of dehydration. Give dairy calves an extra boost with the Add Pack if scours become more severe.
Energy Boost
