Sprayfo OsmoFit
Dehydration resulting from calf diarrhoea is the cause of 55% of all calf deaths in their first stage of life.
Depending on whether the diarrhoea is caused by nonpathogenic or pathogenic causes, there is a need to change (feeding) management, buy the immune system time to overcome the infection or if really needed, provide veterinary treatment.
Dehydration and the consequential metabolic acidosis thereof is what ultimately makes the calf succumb to an illness state that is commonly referred to as calf diarrhoea. Trials carried out at the Trouw Nutrition Calf & Beef Research Center demonstrated that Sprayfo OsmoFit is able to keep and/or restore blood pH of calves within the normal range whereas pure water and hypertonic solutions are not, or less able to do so.
