Lectade Plus
Product Description
Lectade Plus is an oral rehydration solution designed for livestock, particularly calves, to combat dehydration and electrolyte loss caused by diarrhoea or other stress-related conditions. The 48-pack format provides a convenient supply for treating multiple animals or for use over an extended period. It helps replenish essential electrolytes, restore energy levels, and support recovery, making it a vital tool for maintaining animal health during periods of illness or stress.
Lectade Plus is an oral rehydration therapy which is indicated for the treatment of scour in calves.
Lectade Plus acts by reversing the process of dehydration, acidosis and loss of electrolytes associated with diarrhoea, whether caused by bacteria, viruses, cryptosporidia or inappropriate nutrition.
