Diarrhoea is known to cause enormous economic losses in livestock, most notably in young calves
and piglets. Diarrhoea is associated with the loss of water (dehydration), the loss of electrolytes
(mainly Na+, Cl- and to a lesser extent K+ and HCO3-) and with a metabolic acidosis (acidification
as a result of excessive lactic acid production). The cause of diarrhoea may be both infectious and
non-infectious. Because the aetiology often is unknown and a causal treatment of the diarrhoea
may not be achievable, symptomatic treatment is indicated.
Electrolysol Oral is a first-choice therapy due to its efficacy in all bacterial, viral and non-infectious
forms of diarrhoea. This oral rehydration solution comprises water, electrolytes and absorption
promoting substances, as a result of which dehydration, loss of electrolytes and acidosis are
controlled effectively.
Prevention and treatment of dehydration caused by diarrhoea in calves, cattle, goats, poultry,
sheep and swine as well as companion animals and horses.
