Re-Sorb Oral Hydration Electrolyte Product for Scouring Calves

The 3 main causes of calf scours and resulting dehydration are bacteria (E. coli and Salmonella， etc.)， viruses， and nutritional factors. In all cases， there is a loss of water and electrolytes due to the scours， which can lead to severe dehydration and death. Generally， whatever the cause of the scours， dehydration is the main cause of death. When fecal loss of water exceeds the water intake， dehydration occurs. This can be corrected with administration of either oral or intravenous fluids. In the severely dehydrated calf， intravenous administration is the route of choice.
