    Features & Benefits

    Features
    • Enhanced Hydration
    • Hydro-Lac improves cellular fluid balance through its proprietary electrolytes and osmolytes, ensuring cells are ready and hydrated for heat stress, calving and transportation events where fluid losS Is a concern.
    • Antioxidant Support The research-proven antioxidant properties of Hydro-Lac provide immune system support when cattle need it most. Whether just after calving" or during heat stress", antioxidants can improve cell repair, reduce inflammation, and utimately lead to faster recovery to normal production following stress events.
    • Rumen&Gut Health Severe stress can impact the health and integrity of the rumen and lower gut, destroying protective tissues and opening the door for pathogens and toxins to enter the bloodstream. Hydro-Lac's comprehensive nutrients work to protect from the effects of "leaky gut" syndrome associated with heat stress.
    • Body Temperature Regulation Field demonstrations have proven cattle fed Hydro-Lac prior to and during heat stress events are better able to regulate their body temperature. This includes the critical internal temperature that affects embryo survival.
    • Safe Improved Energy Status Hydro-Lac's comprenenve to better cope with stress.

Cattle can focus more on what they are supposed to do: milk, gain, or reproduce.
    • Faster Recovery Only Hydro-Lac's research-proven, proactive approach to minimizing production losses leads to faster recovery, and helps to combat stressful situations for all cattle at any stage in life. Faster recovery means faster return to normal income and improved return over maintenance costs for your business.

    Applications & Uses

    Animal Species
    Applications
    • Using Hydro-Lac can improve cow performance by helping reduce milk loss due to heat stress, promote more rapid production response post-calving, and encourage feed and water intake to overcome health challenges. Field results have shown that cows fed Hydro-Lac maintain and drink more water and have positive responses in milk production.
    • Hydro-Lac is specially formulated to provide essential nutrients, electrolytes and sugars necessary to maintain body fluid balance during times of shipping, heat stress, marketing, reproduction and livestock shows. Research has shown that feeding Hydro-Lac prior to shipping cattle to harvest preserves live weight and meat quality. It reduces the negative effects of dehydration and shipping stress common during transportation.
