Not All Electrolytes are Made the Same

Not All Electrolytes are Made the Same

It’s no secret that your calf program needs to include electrolytes. It is inevitable that you will need to use them at some point. Calves are the future of your farm, choosing an electrolyte is a task that should not be taken lightly.

Diarrhea is the most common issue we have in calves. Correcting dehydration and acidosis is our main goal in treating calves with diarrhea. There are enormous amounts of calf electrolytes on the market- so which is right for you?

When choosing an electrolyte, we want it to have the following properties:

  • Supply sufficient sodium
  • Include agents that help intestinal absorption
  • Provide an alkalizing agent
  • Provides energy
  • Help foster a healthy gut

If you need help finding a quality electrolyte, please reach out to your local Insight FS Feed Specialist.
