LIQUID LIFE-AID 960ML
Oral rehydration therapy labelled for cattle, sheep and pigs, but has also been used succesfully for companion species and wild mammals. It can be used in cases of acute diarrhoea, dehydration due to over-exertion, stress, or absence of fluids and foods.
Packed as 960ml in a 1lt polyethylene bottle, Liquid life-aid is a clear yellow, aqueous, concentrated solution of the following composition:
Glucose Monohydrate 30.6675% w/v
Sodium Chloride 5.375% w/v
Sodium Propionate 0.2625% w/v
Potassium Dihydrogen Orthophosphate 2.5425% w/v
Glycine 3.875% w/v
Purified Water to 100.0% v/v
Liquid Life Aid on reconstitution contains the following available ions, Sodium, Potassium, Phosphate, Propionate, Chloride, plus Glycine and Dextrose. Following oral administration to calves and pigs the animals intestinal absorptive mechanisms remain functional. This maintains the absorption of sodium and water into the blood and a reversal of the dehydration process which is the major cause of death in scours.
The glucose, glycine and propionate provide rapid source of replacement energy where ketosis results from high glucose demands.
Liquid Life-Aid is indicated in the reversal of the process of dehydration and electrolyte loss associated with scours in calves and pigs whether due to nutritional bacterial or viral causes. It is also indicated as an aid in recovery from pregnancy toxaemia and reversal of hypoglycaemia in sheep.
It is intended for oral administration after dilution with 11.5 times its own volume of water.
