Prolyt Pack® Extra
Calves suffering from diarrhoea need to quickly compensate for fluid and electrolyte losses to prevent metabolic acidosis.
ProlytPack® Extra provides exactly the right electrolytes to rehydrate calves experiencing scour
These electrolytes are sodium, potassium and chloride. Sodium and potassium are positively charged, chloride is negatively charged. The difference between these positive and negative charges, the Strong Ion Difference (SID value) in an oral rehydration solution describes the buffering capacity of the product and should be at least 60 mmol/l. SID values over 80mmol/l do not give extra benefits.
Prolyt Pack® Extra supplies 101 mmol Na⁺+ 20 mmol K⁺- 42 mmol Cl¯, giving a SID value of 79 mmol/l.
Many electrolyte products cannot be combined with milk.

Prolyt Pack® Extra can be mixed with milk. Easier for the farmer and better for the calf
The ingredients in some electrolytes particularly sodium bicarbonate can interfere with the coagulation of milk in the calf. These products should not be used at the same time as feeding milk.
Using Prolyt Pack® Extra allows the calf to continue digesting milk as nature intended and using lactose as the energy source.
-
Prolyt Pack® Extra rehydrates but also includes organically bound zinc and betaine from sugar beet molasses which support the quick regeneration of damaged gut mucosa. Betaine improves cell water hydration by its osmolyte function.

Prolyt Pack® Extra is outstanding value for money. 1 litre of Prolyt Pack® Extra feeds 20 calves
