Give Your Herd the Strong Start They Deserve
Calf scour (diarrhea) remains one of the most critical challenges during calving season, accounting for up to 40% of calf deaths in the first six weeks of life.
Left unchecked, it leads to dehydration, malnutrition, and stunted growth, costing farmers over €53 per case in treatment alone.
Tonisity Rum-X is the solution. It is a highly palatable isotonic protein solution designed to support hydration and intestinal function in calves, lambs, and goat kids. By supporting intestinal development, it helps support nutrient uptake, hydration and early-life performance.
Why Choose Tonisity Rum-X?
1. Support Hydration and Intake During Early-Life Challenges
Farmers using Tonisity Rum-X report strong voluntary intake and practical ease of use during early-life feeding periods.
Rapid Acceptance: Animals readily consume the solution from the first feedings.
Consistent Feeding: Farms report easy integration into existing feeding protocols.
• Maintained Feeding: Unlike old protocols that restrict milk, Rum-X works alongside milk feeding to provide energy for recovery.
2. Boost Growth and Weight Gain
Tonisity Rum-X is not just for sick animals; it is a performance booster.
• Higher Daily Gain: Studies show a 10% increase in average daily gain (ADG) for calves receiving Rum-X compared to control groups. (Study 24-042-B-P)
• Heavier Weaning Weights: Calves can be 3–5 kg heavier than control animals after 60 days. (Farm testimony)
• Uniformity: Helps "fall-behind" calves catch up to the herd weight within weeks of the 10-day protocol. (Farm testimonial)
3. Advanced Gut Support (Micro-Enteral Nutrition)
Tonisity Rum-X utilizes a targeted approach called micro-enteral nutrition. It feeds the intestinal cells (enterocytes) directly, which are the gateway to the animal's bloodstream.
• Better Absorption: Enhances the absorption of nutrients from milk and feed.
• Immune Support: Supports the development of the microflora and immune defences.
• Hydration: As an isotonic solution, it contains key electrolytes to restore fluid balance effectively

Cattle Farm - Romania
By using Rum-X on our farm, we were impressed by how rapidly it is consumed, especially since consumption can be a challenge for some young calves. We applied Rum-X initially on our fall-behind calves. Within a few weeks of finishing the 10-day protocol they were at the same weight as the rest of the calves, and we were able to reintroduce them into the herd. Having seen such good results, we will be using Rum-X in the entire herd.
Cattle Farm - France
"I gave 1 litre of Rum-X twice a day and generally the diarrhoea stopped totally after 3 administrations (1.5 days). I was surprised by the quick disappearance of the diarrhoea when I compared to other products I used for this purpose in the past".
Cattle Farm
“I used Tonisity Rum-X at the first sign of scouring. The dosage was 30 grams per litre of warm water and I administered one or two litres of solution according to weight. In the case of “light” diarrhea, we offered Tonisity (Rum-X) solution between the milk meals (at least two hours away from the milk meal), while in the case of “severe” diarrhea, I replaced the milk meal with Tonisity. In most cases (>95%) we had a positive effect on the calves.”
