Forte Healthcare has launched Charcovet Gel, an activated charcoal gel for the support of digestive disturbances in calves, foals and lambs.

Charcovet Gel contains 30g of activated charcoal in a 60ml syringe. 

Dr John Henderson, Large Animal Product Manager at Forte Healthcare said: “In young animals with digestive disturbances, Charcovet Gel uses the adsorbent properties of activated charcoal to support the gut in a return to normal function.

"The value of using activated charcoal in cases of digestive upset in young animals has long been recognised, but the difficulty and mess involved in mixing such a fine dry powder in water presented considerable usability issues.

"With Charcovet Gel, the appropriate volume of activated charcoal gel is simply selected from the graduated syringe and administered directly into the animal’s mouth.

"Charcovet Gel can be given daily as needed to support the animal during the period of digestive upset.”

Each box of Charcovet Gel contains 12 syringes.

Charcovet Gel is available now from all major veterinary wholesalers, or directly from Forte Healthcare Ltd.
