Oral Rehydration Salts：Safeguard Animal Health Against Diarrhoea

Diarrhoea is one of the most prevalent disorders in swine, cattle, sheep and poultry farming. Most farmers immediately administer anti-diarrhoeal drugs once they notice loose faeces in livestock, yet they overlook dehydration – an invisible killer more lethal than pathogens themselves. Experienced veterinarians all agree that most diarrhoeic animals die not from bacterial or viral infections, but from circulatory failure and acidosis triggered by severe dehydration. The World Health Organization confirms that oral rehydration salts correct dehydration faster than intravenous infusion, earning them the reputation of “life-saving solution”.

Mechanism of Action

Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) are not merely a mixture of salt and sugar, but a scientifically formulated compound preparation. Its key ingredients include sodium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium bicarbonate and glucose.

Functions:

• Correct dehydration, replenish electrolytes and energy, and relieve acidosis;
• Regulate the body’s electrolyte and acid-base balance, replenish body fluid, boost blood volume and improve microcirculation disorders;
• Maintain normal excitability of nerves and muscles, and facilitate carbohydrate and protein metabolism;
• Glucose accelerates intestinal absorption of sodium and water.
• With long-lasting efficacy, this product strengthens animal immunity and prevents toxic shock, thus raising treatment success rates.

 Product Advantages

1. Scientific Optimal Ratio for Rapid Correction of Electrolyte Imbalance.

Precisely blended with four core components: sodium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium bicarbonate and anhydrous glucose. Its osmotic pressure matches livestock body fluid perfectly. It rapidly replenishes lost potassium, sodium and chloride ions and relieves acidosis at the source, eliminating symptoms such as collapse, limb weakness and recumbency caused by diarrhoea. Unlike plain sugar water (only energy supply) or ordinary saline (only salt supplement), it simultaneously regulates water balance, electrolytes and acid-base equilibrium.

2. Ultra-Fast Solubility, Dissolves in Cold or Warm Water, No Residues to Block Water Lines.

Manufactured with ultrafine powder technology, the product dissolves instantly in cold or ambient warm water without sediment or agglomeration. It keeps automatic water supply pipelines and drinkers unclogged for large-scale pig, cattle and chicken farms. No manual stirring required to save labour, fully compatible with automated intensive farming systems.

3. Excellent Palatability Encourages Voluntary Intake.

Optimised flavour formula eliminates harsh salty bitterness. Sick, weak livestock will drink the solution voluntarily without forced oral administration, reducing stress from capture. Young and weak animals can absorb nutrients effortlessly.

4. Antibiotic-Free, Zero Residue, No Withdrawal Period for Whole-Cycle Use.

A pure electrolyte nutritional supplement free of antibiotics and synthetic anti-diarrhoeal chemicals. It causes no drug resistance, safe for meat poultry, laying hens and lactating cattle & sheep throughout breeding cycles. No withdrawal period before slaughter, fully compliant with livestock product inspection standards for green farming.

5. Multi-Purpose Formula: For Diarrhoea Treatment & Daily Health Care

Beyond rehydration during diarrhoea outbreaks, it relieves summer heat stress, alleviates stress before and after vaccination, restores physical strength post-illness, and mitigates long-distance transport stress. All-in-one functionality cuts farm health maintenance costs.

Clinical Indications

1. Diarrhoea of All Aetiologies

It drastically reduces mortality for bacterial diarrhoea (e.g. piglet yellow and white scour, salmonellosis), viral diarrhoea (e.g. transmissible gastroenteritis) and stress-induced diarrhoea. When combined with veterinarian-recommended sensitive antibiotics for bacterial diarrhoea, the cure rate exceeds 90%.

2. Heat Stress & Transport Stress

Swine, cattle and sheep have underdeveloped sweat glands and easily lose electrolytes under high summer temperatures. Provide the rehydration solution 3–4 hours before and after long-distance transport to boost stress resistance and lower transit mortality.

3. Post-Illness Recovery Support

For animals with poor appetite and physical exhaustion after high fever, pneumonia or postpartum weakness, it quickly replenishes energy and blood volume to aid recovery.
