Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Usage
- Biopect can be used during periods of digestive disturbances, regardless of wether they are caused by bacteria, virus or the feed.
- Biopect can also be used preventively if there is a risk of digestive disturbances, eg. due to change in diet, relocation and newly purchased animals or other stressfull situations.
- Furthermore, Biopect can be used as a supplement to antibiotic treatment, where it reduces the harmfull effect of the antibiotic on the intestinal microbiota and supports a rapid reconstruction of the natural intestinal microbiota.
- Biopect is optimized so it can be used in milk and the nutrient supply can continue.
- Calves with severe digestive disturbances can easily lose 6-8 liters of fluid in a day. It causes dehydration and loss of electrolytes and energy.
- Administration
In case of digestive disturbances (diarrhea): 1g biopect per kg live weight twice daily for 3-5 days.
In risk of digestive disturbances (diarrhea): Give half amount for 2-3 days.
- If Biopect is used for more than 3 days in a row in water, other feed must be given,eg. milk/milk replacer.
- Measuring cup for 50g included
Calves
Dosage: 50g of Biopect, mixed into 2 l warm milk/milk replacer (approx. 40 oC)- Mild cases: Twice daily for 3-5 days.
- Severe cases:
- During the first 24 hours, the dosage can be give up to 4 times, dependent on the degree of the digestive disturbances. The following days: as in mild cases.
- In water the dosage should be doubled: 100g in 2 l approx. 40 oC warm water at the first two administrations. Hereafter, it should be dosed in milk/milk replacer as in mild cases.
- Preventively: Half dose for 3 days.
- The stated dosages apply to a calf op approx. 50 kg. Adjust the dosage according to the weight of the calf.
Piglets
- Biopect in milk replacer or water:
- Give 50g Biopect per 2 l milk replacer or water twice daily for 3-5 days.
- Biopect as topdressing on dry feed:
- Give 1g Biopect per kg live weight twice daily for 3-5 days.
Other species
1g Biopect per kg live weight in milk, milk replacer or as topdressing on dry feed twice daily for 3-5 days. When mixed with water use double dosage of Biopect.Make sure that the animal receives plenty of water.It is recommended that advice from the veterinarian be sought before use and before extending the period of use.
Biopect in milk
Biopect is specially formulated so thal the milk teeding, and thus the supply Or nutrientS, can de conunued duing a period of digestive problems. .
- Weight loss is reduced
- The immune system is strengthened
- Mortality is reduced
The 6 golden rules
- A calf needs 4 itres of good quality colostrum as soon as possible after birth
- It is important that the calf gets plenty to drink.
- The milk must have the correct temperature.
- High hygiene when administering.
- The calf should not be exposed to draft or a humid environment.
- Stress can cause gastrointestional disturbances.
- How Biopect works ?
The plant fibers in Biopect have different properties and elfects. Some fibers together with the liquid form a protective layer that will settle on the damaged intestinal vili. Other fibers bind fluid, harmful bacteria and toxins that are excreted with the manure. Finally, some fibers stimulate the formation of beneficial bacteria and Support a good digestion.
An optimal electrolyte composition with a high SID-value ensures a fast restoration of the electrolyte and fluid balance and a normal intestinal function. Dextrose supplies the calf with easily digestible energy and stimulates the absorption of electrolytes in the intestine. Alkaline buffers stabilize the acid-base balance of the blood and promote the uptake of water and sodium.
The composition of Biopect optimizes and strengthens the intestinal bacteria flora and ensures that the calf recovers quickly after a period of gastrointestinal problems.
Preventive use of Biopect
In situations where the calif is exposed to changes or stress, digestive challenges are often seen. It would be beneficial to use Biopect in these situations.
Change of feed
For example the transition from milk feeding to feeding calf mix or the change to another calf mix.
Heat stress
During warm periods where the calf is extra exposed to dehydration and loss of electrolytes.
Cold and humid periods
In cold and humid weather where the calf is especially susceptible to digestive problems.
Relocation of animals
Calves that are moved together in new groups, for example from single boxes to group boxes or are moved to dairy calf beef herds.
