How to Resolve Calf Diarrhea in 2–3 Days
Farmers End Diarrhea Fast
Calf diarrhea remains one of the most critical challenges during the calving season. Left unchecked, diarrhea can have devastating impacts on calf health, growth and farm profitability. Early intervention is key to minimise health issues and aid growth and lifetime performance of young calves.
Why Fast Action is Essential
Diarrhea not only weakens calves but also reduces average daily gain (ADG) and increases mortality risk. Financially, treatment costs can exceed €53 per case, excluding labour, while long-term productivity suffers as affected heifers produce up to 10% less milk during their first lactation. Delays in addressing diarrhea can result in stunted growth, delayed calving and increased susceptibility to other diseases like respiratory infections.
Stop Diarrhea in Days
This is where Tonisity Rum-X makes a difference. By supporting gut health and hydration, it enables calves to recover quickly, minimising downtime and long-term damage.Farmers using Tonisity Rum-X report visible improvements in calf health within days. In many cases, diarrhea stops within three to four meals, allowing calves to regain energy and strength rapidly.
Healthy Calves, No Scour
Farmer Testimonials:
- “By using Tonisity Rum-X on our farm, we were impressed by how quickly the calves took to it, especially since getting some young calves to drink can be a challenge. Within a few days, we saw real improvements. The fall-behind calves quickly caught up in weight.”
Quick Fix for Diarrhea in Calves
Tonisity Rum-X is an innovative isotonic protein solution designed to support the developing gut of young ruminants. By targeting gut health soon after colostrum, this highly-palatable solution optimises hydration and nutrient absorption – key factors in stopping diarrhea and supporting rapid recovery. Tonisity Rum-X utilises a targeted feeding approach known as micro-enteral nutrition. Instead of feeding the animal, this targeted approach focuses on directly feeding the intestinal cells in the gut, that are the gateway to the bloodstream of the calf.
