Agrolyt Powder: An Electrolyte Solution to Support Young Animals

Digestive disorders, heat periods, or significant sweating can cause considerable losses of water and electrolytes in animals. For young animals, maintaining good hydration is particularly important.

Agrolyt Powder by Kerbl is a dietary complementary feed specifically designed to help stabilize the hydro-electrolytic balance and support physiological digestion.

Presented in a soluble powder form, Agrolyt allows for the quick preparation of a palatable electrolyte drink to distribute to animals.

The 1 kg packaging is suitable for both professional breeders and smaller farms looking for a practical solution to use when animals are at increased risk of water and electrolyte losses.

A Formula Combining Electrolytes, Carbohydrates, and Buffering Capacity

Agrolyt Powder is based on the combination of three essential elements: electrolytes, easily assimilable carbohydrates, and substances with high buffering capacity.

Electrolytes help compensate for losses related to digestive disorders or significant sweating.

The readily available carbohydrates provide a quickly mobilizable source of energy.

Finally, the buffering substance in the formulation helps regulate blood pH and the body's buffering capacity.

This combination allows Agrolyt to act as nutritional support during periods when the animal's water and electrolyte balance is at risk of being disrupted.

When to Use Agrolyt Powder?

Agrolyt can be used when an animal is at risk of hydro-electrolytic imbalance.

Its use is particularly recommended:

• In case of risk of digestive disorders;
• During or after digestive disorders;
• During significant sweating;
• During periods of high heat;
• When the animal shows a decrease in appetite;
• When fluid intake decreases;
• When electrolyte losses need to be compensated.

It can therefore be useful to have it available on the farm to quickly prepare an electrolyte drink when the situation requires it.

For Which Animals?

Agrolyt Powder is intended mainly for:

Calves
Young calves are particularly sensitive to water losses accompanying digestive disorders. An electrolyte solution can provide water and electrolytes to support their hydro-electrolytic balance.

Piglets
Agrolyt can be offered to piglets when supplementary electrolyte intake is necessary.

Lambs
The electrolyte drink can also be made available to young sheep during periods requiring support for their water balance.

Foals
Agrolyt is also suitable for foals, especially when significant water and electrolyte losses occur following sweating or digestive disorders.

How to Prepare Agrolyt Powder?

The preparation is simple.

Dissolve 50 g of powder, which is about 2 measuring spoons, in 1 liter of warm water.

Mix well to obtain a homogeneous electrolyte drink before offering it to the animals.

For Calves

Prepare the solution using 50 g of Agrolyt per liter of warm water.

Distribute 2 liters of electrolyte drink, twice a day, between liquid meals.

It is important to separate it from milk meals according to usage recommendations.

For Piglets, Lambs, and Foals

Prepare the electrolyte drink using the same dosage of 50 g per liter of warm water, then make the prepared solution available to the animals.

Possible Use with Automatic Dispensers

Agrolyt Powder is also suitable for use with compatible automatic distribution systems.

This feature is particularly interesting in calf or pig farming, where automation of feeding simplifies daily work.

The soluble powder thus allows for easier integration of an electrolyte solution into the usual farming organization.

Why use an electrolyte solution?

When an animal loses a significant amount of fluid, it does not only lose water. Essential electrolytes for the normal functioning of the body are also eliminated.

This can especially occur during significant digestive disorders or excessive sweating.

Simply providing water does not always meet all the needs related to these losses. An electrolyte solution allows the simultaneous supply of water and electrolytes.

Agrolyt combines this electrolyte supply with easily available carbohydrates and a high buffering capacity, to support the animal during these sensitive periods.

A practical product to keep on the farm

Water imbalances can appear quickly, especially in young animals. Having a powder product allows for the preparation of an electrolyte solution when needed.

Thanks to its 1 kg packaging, Agrolyt Powder provides a practical solution for farms of calves, piglets, lambs, or foals.

Its simple preparation and compatibility with automatic dispensers also enable easy integration into daily farming practices.

Usage Advice

Follow the dosage recommendations and instructions on the product packaging.

Ensure that drinking water is always available to the animals.

In the presence of significant or persistent digestive disorders, signs of dehydration, a very weakened animal, or a prolonged decrease in beverage intake, it is recommended to quickly seek the advice of a veterinarian. The use of a complementary feed does not replace diagnosis or veterinary care when the animal's condition requires it.
