Forte Healthcare has launched Hydrafast - an oral rehydration solution for calves.

Forte developed the new solution alongside Professor Gayle Hallowell, Professor of Veterinary Internal Medicine and Critical Care at the School of Veterinary Medicine and Science, University of Nottingham.

The company says Hydrafast delivers ideal levels of sodium and glucose. It also contains glycine, an amino acid, acetate, propionate and citrate. 

Professor Hallowell said: “This new ORS formula for calves is both practical and research-based, and should address what we know calves need when they have diarrhoea. It provides nutrition as well as an optimal electrolyte balance.”

Hydrafast comes in sachets of 133g. Each box of Hydrafast contains 24 sachets.

Hydrafast is available now from all major veterinary wholesalers, or direct from Forte Healthcare Ltd.
