Bio-Vet Calf Baselyte is an electrolyte solution to help manage acidosis in dehydrated calves. Provides beneficial intestinal organisms and prebiotics to support microbial balance in the gut. The powdered formula contains alkalizing agents, glycine, dextrose, and balanced electrolyte salts to help dehydrated calves fight against diarrhea. May be used during periods of stress such as transportation, pen changes, and hot weather.
Species: calf
Level Scoop = 40 grams electrolyte powder.
Dehydrated calves or calves with diarrhea: Mix 80 grams (2 scoops) electrolyte powder with warm water to make 2 liters of 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-lb bodyweight. 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 the feedings as evenly throughout day as possible and separate electrolyte feedings from milk or 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 or tubing procedures. Discard any mixture not used immediately.
