SEEK VETERINARY ADVICE IF TREATING SICK AND DEBILITATED ANIMALS
PIGS
Administer in a clean drinking vessel as soon as signs of scouring appear.
Suckling Piglets: A litter of week-old piglets will consume roughly 2-3L/day. Check that diluted solution, drinking water or sow’s milk is always available. Check quantity of diluted solution every 12 hours and replenish as necessary.
Piglets can be dosed directly using an appropriate applicator; 20-30mL diluted VyLyte solution, 3 or 4 times a day.
Weaned Pigs: Limit feed intake for 1-2 days, continue supply of drinking water with weaners consuming 1-2L/day/animal as a guide.
Treatment period (all pigs): Diluted VyLyte solution can be given for 4 days. If scouring persists, application is suitable for 8 days in total.
CALVES
Bought-in Calves: At the first feed on arrival, feed 2L of diluted VyLyte solution instead of milk. At the next feed, give 1L of diluted VyLyte solution but do not mix with milk or milk replacer. Feed normal diet post application.
Scouring Calves: 1L to 1.5L of diluted VyLyte solution per 10kg of bodyweight daily into two or more daily doses. Severe dehydration can happen if scouring is well established, increase diluted solution over 3 or 4 separate doses.
Directions: To retain nutrient and energy consumption, continue normal milk feeding during periods of scouring. Fresh water should always be available, with diluted VyLyte solution given between milk feeds. Replace solution every 24 hours.
Scouring Lambs/Kids
Give 150mL-200mL of fresh diluted VyLyte solution, 2-4 times daily warming solution to body temperature and given through a feeding bottle with teat.
