Hydration: Why water and electrolytes are important.

Water is the most important nutrient—no debate.

Livestock lose essential electrolytes that need replenishing to ensure optimal animal health and well-being. Both water and electrolytes are vital for every animal’s basic functions.

Electrolyte imbalances occur when body fluids are lost faster than they are replaced. Without proper oral electrolyte supplementation, dehydration can occur quickly, especially during the first stages of life. However, it is important to maintain hydration levels for all animals at all ages, most specifically during periods of diarrhea, shipping, and high environmental temperatures.

Bio-Vets electrolytes represent the optimal complement of ingredients to supplement animal’s requirements.

I was concerned about the summer heat wave coming to Wisconsin. We started using Bovine GoldLyte® in the TMR last Thursday and our 130 cows were up 7.69 pounds of milk per head as of Tuesday. Over the weekend we had 90 degree temperatures and 70 percent humidity. This comes with absolutely no feed changes. We were expecting a loss of some sort on milk and the whole herd was up on milk instead. What a payback! We also use Generator ELITE™ in our ration.

We started feeding Bovine GoldLyte® through the TMR during hot spells. My nutritionist said I was his only client whose milk production didn’t drop during the hot weather. We use it at the 1 pound per 25 cow rate. It works!
