When there are specific disease problems on farm the necessary precautions must be taken to prevent deaths occurring. Over 50% of all scours are of a nutritional nature and are usually due to lack of colostrum, overfeeding of milk or too rich a mixture, incorrect temperature, irregular feeding, poor housing, or a combination of these.

How can SUSTAIN® help?
Whether a calf scour is nutritional or infectious, the effect is acidosis, dehydration and loss of electrolytes.

In early life the calf requires a lot of energy and as electrolyte-type solutions supply only 15% of this requirement, setbacks can result.

SUSTAIN® provides the ability to continue milk feeding whilst overcoming the nutritional scour. There is no need for milk withdrawal.
