Appointment of Kalvolit
The drug Kalvolit is intended to replenish fluid in the body of calves after dyspepsia. The product restores the acid balance, supplying the body of young animals with water and electrolytes.
Diarrhea is an acute gastrointestinal illness. It can take different forms: from mild gastrointestinal upset to severe diarrhea with intoxication and dehydration.
Many calves who have had a severe digestive disorder are lagging behind in development, gaining muscle mass for a long time. In addition, for a long time, babies have low energy. From 30 to 50% of young animals do not survive after severe gastrointestinal disorders. Often this happens due to the fault of the owners, who are trying to cure the calves with folk remedies. It was revealed that cows who had recovered from diarrhea at an early age had reduced milk productivity by more than 10%.
There are several causes of an eating disorder in calves:
- a number of infectious diseases;
- an illiterate change of milk substitute;
- the transition from substandard milk to a substitute;
- stress after transportation;
- vaccination.
Post-stress dyspepsia is temporary and not as dangerous as digestive upset caused by infectious diseases. However, it causes the same fluid loss in a young calf. Calvolite helps the pet owner solve the problem of dehydration and prevents the calf from losing energy due to this pathology.
Calvolit composition
The composition of Kalvolit includes the following components:
- glucose;
- sodium chloride;
- sodium bicarbonate;
- potassium chloride.
Each of these substances is essential for the treatment of diarrhea.
Glucose is the main source of energy lost after diarrhea. It contributes to the maintenance of vital processes in cells. It is a kind of fuel for any organism. Glucose is essential for cellular metabolism, maintenance of water balance, and elimination of toxins. It is indispensable for depletion of the body, infectious diseases of the digestive tract, dehydration.
Sodium chloride is used for electrolyte imbalance caused by vomiting or diarrhea. Thus, it has a detoxifying effect and helps to restore water balance.
Sodium bicarbonate is alkaline in nature. It is used for intoxication, since it neutralizes acidity, which increases under the influence of toxins. When alkali enters the body, a chemical reaction occurs: water and harmless chemical compounds are formed, which are excreted from the body in a natural way.
Potassium chloride also helps to restore water and electrolyte balance. It is often used for vomiting and diarrhea.
Also, the composition of the preparation Kalvolit includes a number of vitamins: A, D, E, C and vitamins of group B. Of the trace elements, the composition contains iron, copper, iodine, manganese, zinc, selenium, folic acid.
