Description:
Effydral provides immediate dehydration and corrects electrolyte loss and metabolic acidosis particularly when these disturbances are consequences of diarrhoea such as E.coli or viruses such as rotavirus for calves and pigs. It can also be used in bought-in calves to reduce the incidence of diarrhoea and on pigs to encourage fluid intake and prevent dehydration after periods of stress e.g. transportation.

Calves with Diarrhoea: Prepare 2 or 3 litres of Effydral solution, depending on calf size or severity of diarrhoea. Administer twice daily for 2 days. During the next 2 days, feed 1 or 1.5 litres of Effydral solution mixed with an equal quantity of milk or milk replacer. Normal feeding can then usually be resumed. In cases of severe dehydration Effydral solution should be administered in 3 or 4 feeds per day.
Bought-in Calves: Instead of milk or milk replacer the first feed on arrival should consist of 2 litres of Effydral solution. The second feed should contain 1 litre of Effydral solution mixed with 1 litre of milk or milk replacer. Thereafter feed as normal.
Pigs Birth to Weaning: When scour occurs make Effydral available in a clean utensil. The amount consumed per pig depends on age.
Weaned Pig: Allow consumption up to a maximum of 1 litre per pig per day. Provide untreated water at all times.
