An oral rehydration therapy for the treatment of diarrhoea in calves by reversing the process of dehydration, acidosis and loss of electrolytes associated with diarrhoea, whether caused by bacteria, viruses, cryptosporidia or inappropriate nutrition.

Dosage & Administration: 

Lectade Plus is contained in paired sachets (A&B). It is palatable, water soluble powder for oral administration only. Always feed sachets A and B together.

Dissolve the contents of each paired sachet in 2 liters (approx 3.5pints) of fresh water at a temperature of about 35°C to make a pink solution.

Immediately when signs of scour are seen, withdraw milk or milk replacer and feed 2 liters of solution, made up freshly as directed., twice daily for 2 days (4 feeds).

For the next 4 feeds, use 1 liter of Lectade Plus solution mixed with 1 liter of milk or milk replacer. Thereafter feed as normal.

If scouring is established or severe, causing serious dehydration, the 2 liters of solution should be fed 3 or 4 times daily as necessary to correct the dehydration.

Withdrawal Period: Milk- zero days
