Diarrhea and dehydration in calves can be a serious health problem. They may occur when you change your diet, due to contaminated milk, bacterial or viral infections or stress. Prompt intervention and appropriate treatment are crucial to avoid dehydration and other complications. Providing proper care, hygiene and access to appropriate nutrition can help prevent diarrhea in calves.

Diarrhea in calves is caused by bacteria such as E. coli, Salmonella and Clostridium perfringens. Consuming contaminated food may lead to infections, manifesting as diarrhea and deterioration of health. Preventing these infections requires maintaining clean breeding conditions, hygiene and regular consultation with a veterinarian. Treatment of bacterial diarrhea in calves usually involves the administration of antibiotics. In some cases, it is also necessary to supplement fluids to prevent dehydration and to use digestive aids. This is where Agrochemica's hydration supplements and supplements supporting the digestive system of calves come in handy.

Supplementation of calves is important in the context of supporting the digestive system and combating intestinal problems, including: diarrhea. Choosing the right supplements plays an important role in maintaining the balance of intestinal microflora and preventing various digestive ailments. Agrochemica diarrhea supplements are available from CanAgri. Thanks to this, calves can enjoy better resistance to infections and their digestive system works more efficiently. All this translates into their overall health and well-being.

Agrochemika brand preparations provide intestinal protection, energy and electrolytes. They are divided into products composed of plant and mineral ingredients. Mineral effect: Agrobac-K contains electrolytes, yeast products and easily digestible carbohydrates. It also contains bentonite, which absorbs water and creates a covering for the intestines. Plant action: Agrodiar-K has a high content of plant ingredients. Here, linseed meal is used to protect the intestine, and it contains as much as 25% of the composition. Both products:

• stop diarrhea
• they provide energy
• provide electrolytes
• support the bacterial flora by protecting the intestinal walls

It is recommended to administer Probicol-K paste to newborn calves. The paste is a rich source of natural immunoglobulins, vitamins A, D3, E. It works in three ways:

• supports the immune system
• stabilizes the natural intestinal bacterial flora
• provides digestible energy

Introducing optimal supplementation from an early age is a key step in ensuring calves have a healthy start in life. CanAgri's offer includes the Surlac feed mixture for acidifying milk and its substitutes. Thanks to safe acidification, the milk or milk replacer is "pre-digested". It therefore remains well tolerated by young animals even at temperatures below 39 °C. This is important for ad libitum, storage and cold drinking.

During bacterial diarrhea, supplementing calves with electrolytes is an important element in preventing dehydration. Electrolytes such as sodium, potassium and chloride play an important role in maintaining adequate fluid levels and regulating acid-base balance. During diarrhea, the body loses significant amounts of fluids and electrolytes. This may lead to dehydration and serious metabolic disorders. Agrochemica's irrigation preparations provide effective support in compensating for these losses. Additionally, they support digestive processes, which is crucial for the health and condition of calves during illness.

Agrochemica brand products are available at CanAgri in three forms. As a liquid solution for mixing with milk (Electrolyte-buffering preparation for mixing with milk, Salyt), powder concentrate for dissolution (Preparation stabilizing the water-electrolyte balance, Agrolyt), bolus for administration with an applicator (Electrolyte-buffering bolus for calves, Bufferlyt Bolus ). Supplementary mixtures are intended to:

• prevention of metabolic acidosis
• increasing blood buffering (thanks to which water retains in the body)
• stabilization of water and electrolyte balance (support for physiological digestion)
