KelatoLYTE is the ultimate electrolyte replacer. It has been scientifically formulated to mimic the composition of horse sweat, so whatever is lost in sweat through work or travel is immediately replaced. KelatoLYTE provides the optimal balance of sodium, chloride, potassium and magnesium with minimal glucose “filler” that can compromise the electrolyte composition of other electrolyte replacers. KelatoLYTE is ideal for trainers, as it does not contain alkalising agents that can contravene the rules of racing.
KelatoLYTE™s balanced formulation more closely mimics the actual composition of a horses sweat making it extremely effective at helping to prevent poor performance due to sweat loss.Individual horses sweat differently under differing work loads and climates. KelatoLYTE™s formulation and feeding directions are directly related to the amount of sweat lost, taking into account both the amount of work done and the climate. This means that you can ensure you are correctly replacing your horses sweat loss no matter what the climate. The addition of glucose in the KelatoLYTE formulation improves the uptake of the essential electrolytes into the gut (stomach) to quickly help prevent dehydration.
To also help maximise electrolyte uptake, it is advisable to split the daily KelatoLYTE dosage into more than one feed (eg. half the daily dose in the morning and half in the evening). The apple flavouring in KelatoLYTE makes it very palatable.
KelatoLYTE can also be used as a drench.
KelatoLYTE contains no bicarbonates and does not contravene the rules of racing.
Active ingredients:
Sodium 216.0 gms/kg
Glucose 92.0 gms/kg
Potassium 167.0 gms/kg
Magnesium 16.9 gms/kg

iO Electrolyte Powder is a nutritional supplement to assist in maintaining and restoring the animal’s normal electrolyte balance where level may be low in body tissues during heavy exercise and in hot weather conditions.
Quick Facts & Benefits:
Electrolytes can be used to encourage drinking (e.g. during transport or if horse doesn’t like to drink away from home). Usually thirst/drinking is stimulated within 3-4 hours after dosing. Horses administered any form of electrolytes need to be consuming adequate water. Electrolytes should never be force fed to a dehydrated horse, and any horses supplemented with electrolytes should be monitored for dehydration (skin pinch test, mucous membrane colour and hydration, capillary refill).
PACK WEIGHT: 2kg; 5kg

Dosage:
Reconstitution/ Dilution
Sections 1 and 2 must be used together.
Add the contents of section 1 and section 2 to 2 litres of warm water. Stir until dissolved.
To prepare 500 mL, add 1 level 5 mL medicine spoonful of powder from section 1 and 3 heaped spoonfuls of powder from section 2. Refrigerate remaining solution after use and use within 24 hours. Prepare fresh solution daily.
Foals:
Administer solution, made up as directed, orally to scouring or dehydrated foals by drenching using a bottle or stomach tube. As a guide, 1 to 2 litres of fresh Vytrate solution 2 to 3 times daily, depending on bodyweight and severity of the symptoms, has been reported as a suitable dosage regimen for neonatal foals.
Cats, Dogs:
Vytrate solution, reconstituted as directed, should be made available to diarrhoeic or dehydrated animals as supportive therapy following specific treatment for the conditions described.
Many dogs find Vytrate palatable and will drink the solution voluntarily. Palatability for cats is variable. Vytrate may also be administered orally via dosage syringe. Treatment should be continued for 1 to 2 days after the animal appears clinically recovered and is feeding normally. As a guide, the following dosage regimens of prepared Vytrate solution are recommended:-
Cats, miniature dogs (<5 kg): 125 mL 2-3 times daily
Small dogs (5 – 10 kg): 250 mL 2-3 times daily
Medium dogs (11 – 20 kg): 500 mL 2-3 times daily
Large dogs (>20 kg): 750 mL 2- 3 times daily
Calves:
Bought-in or Stressed Calves (not scouring):
Feed 2 litres of diluted solution, made up as above, as the first feed on arrival.
For the next scheduled feed, use 1 litre diluted solution at the same time as, but not mixed with, milk or milk replacer. Thereafter, feed normal diet.
Scouring Calves:
Feed 1 to 1.5 litres of diluted solution per 10 kg bodyweight daily, divided into two or more daily doses.
If scouring is established or severe, causing dehydration, the higher dose should be used initially and fed in three or four divided doses. 2 litres of diluted solution given morning and night will be adequate in many cases. Replace with fresh solution every 24 hours. To maintain adequate energy and nutrient intake, milk feeding should continue as normal during periods of scouring. Diluted solution should be given between these milk feeds.
• Fresh drinking water should be available at all times.
• Keep feeding utensils clean and avoid overfeeding.
• Normal feeding should be resumes after the course of treatment.
• Many scouring problems can be avoided by feeding adequate colostrum early in the calf’s life.
• Seek veterinary advice if blood is present or if scours persist beyond four days.
Pigs:
Suckling Piglets:
Make available solution made up as directed to the whole litter in a cube drinker or similar clean vessel as soon as scour symptoms show. A litter of 1 week old piglets will consume approximately 2-3 litres per day. The amount consumed will increase with the age of the piglets. Piglets may be dosed individually, by giving 20 to 30 mL diluted solution 3 or 4 times a day, taking care to avoid choking. Take care to ensure that piglets are not left without diluted solution, drinking water, or sow’s milk.
Check the supply of solution every 12 hours and replenish if necessary.
Weaned Pigs
Scouring weaned pigs should have fresh diluted solution available in a suitable clean vessel. Restrict solid feed intake for one or two days, but continue to supply fresh drinking water.
As a general guide, weaners will consume 1-2 litres/ weaner/ day.
Duration of treatment (all pigs):
Diluted solution should be made available for 4 days, but if the scour has not cleared completely, treatment may be continued for up to 8 days in total. If there is no sign of improvement, consult a veterinary surgeon.
Periods of stress:
For the 2 to 3 days following any period of stress (e.g. weaning, transport), Vytrate will help to increase fluid and electrolyte consumption and absorption, so minimising any possible setback. As diluted solution is extremely palatable and excessive drinking may occur, diluted solution at half the strength recommended above may be used, for this indication only. Replace with fresh solution every 24 hours.
Sheep:
Scouring Lambs:
Give 150 to 200 mL fresh diluted solution 2 to 4 times daily as required. The solution should be adjusted to body heat and given via a feeding bottle and teat. The lamb should also suck the ewe.
If bottle-fed, to maintain adequate energy and nutrient intake, milk feeding should continue as normal during period of scouring. Solution should be given between these milk feeds.
Note:
When specific disease control (i.e. antibiotic therapy) is indicated, it can be administered in conjunction with Vytrate. Stressed and scouring animals requiring rehydration are at risk of multiple organ dysfunction. It is strongly recommended that veterinary advice is sought when considering treating dehydrated animals.
Withholding Period(s):
Meat: Zero (0) days
Trade Advice (ESI):
Zero (0) days

Why is Salkavite so effective?
The important difference between Ranvet's Salkavite and other electrolyte mixes is the very high content of B Group vitamins. Salkavite has been specifically formulated for horses being fed high grain diets and subjected to extreme physical stress.
The cereal grains fed to horses in work provide their major source of energy. For maximum release of this energy, a supplementary intake of B Group vitamins is essential, and this is what Ranvet's Salkavite provides.
Dose Rates: RACING & TROTTING HORSES: 30g daily as routine; plus an extra 30g the day before, and night after a race. STALLIONS AT STUD; 30g daily. YEARLINGS: 30-60g daily during sale preparation.

Lectade Sachets when reconstituted as directed provide an oral rehydration therapy containing a balanced mixture of glucose, glycine and electrolytes with the added advantage of being a non-antibiotic oral supportive treatment.
Once diluted Lectade Solution is isotonic, ensuring glucose and glycine are actively absorbed by the intestinal tract, causing water and sodium to be absorbed simultaneously with these nutrients and resulting in a high degree of rehydration in scouring and dehydrated animals.
Where specific disease control (i.e. antibiotic therapy) is indicated, it can be administered in conjunction with Lectade Solution.
Indicated for:
- Diarrhoea
- Dehydration (simple or associated with diseases such as canine parvovirus and feline panleucopaenia)
- Post travelling stress and dehydration
- Post-surgical or disease convalescence
- Concomitant treatment of viral or bacterial scours
Directions for Use:
For oral treatment only.
Sections A and B must always be used together when preparing Lectade Solution.
Add the contents of section A and B of one Lectade Sachet to 2 litres of warm water, stir until dissolved.
To make 500 mL of Lectade Solution: using a 5 mL medicine spoon add 1 level spoonful of section A and 3 heaped spoonfuls of section B to 500 mL warm water, stir until dissolved, store remainder of powder in a dry place.
Most dogs find Lectade Solution palatable and will drink it voluntarily. Palatability for cats is variable.
Lectade Solution may also be administered orally via syringe.
Continue treatment for 1 to 2 days after the animal appears clinically recovered and is feeding normally.

Equitec Osmo-Plex is an Electrolyte Replacement. It increases water intake and
is a hydration maintenance formula.
Osmo-Plex has been formulated to help maintain osmotic balance in horses.
Osmotic balance assists to establish and maintain adequate retention of fluids in the intestines, cells and muscle tissue and in turn helps to avoid dehydration.
When specific osmotic nutraceuticals and minerals with high bioavailability are added to the diet the need for electrolytes is considerably reduced. This dietary approach is a natural means of maintaining hydration.
Note:
When a horse is badly dehydrated full rehydration can take from 72 hours to 96 hours. The duration of treatment for rehydration of the horse is relevant to the extent of dehydration in each case.
Research Details:
A group study conducted over 14 days with 20 horses showed an increase of between 25% and 30% daily water intake. These horses were previously drinking about 35 litres a day.
Another observation over 14 days with 2 horses that had previously been drinking 60 litres or more a day showed that their water intake reduced by approximately 20%.
Osmotic imbalance may be a precursor to dehydration and possibly tying up. We have observed horses that previously required saline drenching between races due to dehydration. Since they have been supplemented with OSMOPLEX they have not needed to be
drenched. Blood analyses have shown their electrolyte balance to be normal.
Many trainers rely on the pinch test to determine dehydration. This is not a method that can be regarded as being entirely accurate. Previous scientific studies as well as our own research have revealed that the slow return of skin fold is only evident when a horse is about 6% dehydrated.
Numerous case studies have shown that 2% dehydration is enough to reduce a horse's race performance.
The following are approximate guidelines for pinch testing of the skin:
1. Skin folds which remain creased after being pinched are usually in excess of 6% dehydration and require urgent treatment.
2. Skin folds which return back to normal slowly are an indication of approximately 4% to 5% dehydration.
3. Skin folds which return to normal instantly may be an indication of 1 to 3% dehydration.
The use of the pinch test or more accurately the pinch guess is a clear indication that there is a grey area of approximately 3 % when using this method to assess dehydration.
When we equate this to race performance 2% dehydration represents the loss of approximately 2 to 3 lengths over a distance of 1600 metres. The only accurate means of assessing hydration in a horse is through blood analysis and interpretation performed by a
reputable scientific laboratory.

Horse Electrolytes
Keep your equine companion hydrated and performing at their best with our range of horse electrolytes. Formulated to replenish essential minerals lost through sweat during exercise and hot weather, our electrolyte products support optimal hydration and muscle function.
What are electrolytes?
Electrolytes, such as sodium, potassium, and chloride, are essential minerals for horses, crucial for nerve function, muscle contraction, and fluid balance. Replenishing electrolytes is vital to prevent dehydration, muscle cramping, and decreased performance. Electrolyte supplements are often used to restore balance after strenuous activity, during hot weather or illness, helping maintain overall health and performance.
How do electrolytes become unbalanced in horses?
Horse electrolytes can become unbalanced due to factors like excessive sweating during exercise or in hot weather, inadequate intake through diet or water consumption, illness, stress, dietary imbalances, medications, environmental conditions, or kidney dysfunction. When electrolyte levels are disrupted, it can lead to issues such as dehydration, muscle weakness, fatigue, and decreased performance.
How can I balance and replenish my horses electrolytes?
You can replace horse electrolytes by administering electrolyte supplements, which are available in various forms such as powders, liquids, or pastes, following the manufacturer's recommended dosage. Additionally, ensuring access to fresh water and providing a balanced diet rich in electrolyte-containing foods like grass, hay, and salt blocks can help maintain proper electrolyte levels in horses.
