Withholding Periods:
Meat Nil.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

Vytrate Liquid Concentrate: solution intended for oral administration after dilution with water to 12.5 times its original volume.

Following are directions for the preparation of commonly required dose volumes. Measure the required volume of Vy'trate Liquid Concentrate into the mixing vessel and make up to volume required with clean, fresh drinking water. Replace cap firmly after use.

Mix 40 mL Vy'Trate Liquid Concentrate with water to make up to 500 mL diluted solution; mix 80 mL to make up to 1 L; mix 160 mL to make up to 2 L. 1 L pack makes a total of 12.5 L; 5 L pack makes 62.5 L.

Calves:

Bought in calves. Feed 2 L of diluted solution, made up as above, as the first feed on arrival. For the next scheduled feed, use 1 L diluted solution at the same time as, but not mixed with, milk or milk replacer. Thereafter, feed normal diet.

Scouring calves. Dose rate: 1 to 1.5 L diluted solution/10 kg bodyweight daily, divided into two or more daily doses. If scouring is established or severe, causing serious dehydration, the higher dose should be used initially and fed in three or four divided doses. 2 L of diluted solution given morning and night will be adequate in many cases.

Directions. Immediately signs of scours are seen, withdraw milk or milk replacer and feed the required dose for two days. For a further two days return to milk feeding at half normal rate, with diluted solution given between these feeds. Thereafter feed as normal. Seek veterinary advice if blood is present or scours persist beyond four days. Keep feeding utensils clean and avoid overfeeding. Normal feeding should be resumed after the course of treatment. Replace with fresh solution every 24 hours. Many scouring problems can be avoided by feeding adequate colostrum early in the calf's life.

Pigs:

Suckling piglets. Immediately scour signs appear, fresh diluted solution, made up as above, should be made available, in a clean vessel, to the whole litter. A litter of 1 week old piglets will consume approximately 2 to 3 L/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 three or four 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 twelve 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 to two days, but continue to supply fresh drinking water. As a general guide, weaners will consume 1 to 2 L/weaner/day.

Duration of treatment (all pigs). Diluted solution should be made available for four days, but if the scour has not cleared completely, treatment may be continued for up to eight days in total. If there is no sign of improvement, consult a veterinary surgeon.

Periods of stress:

For the two to three days following any period of stress (i.e. weaning, transport etc.), Vy'Trate 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 two to four 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. Unused diluted solution may be kept in a clean  container below 25°C but should be replaced with fresh solution every 24 hours.

Pregnancy toxaemia in ewes:
Administer 160 mL undiluted solution using suitable drenching equipment. Repeat at four to six hour intervals as necessary. Prompt treatment as soon as signs appear improves the likelihood of a complete recovery.

Stimulates the appetite of horses off their feed, those with poor appetites and chronically picky eaters.

There are many reasons why horses may seem to 'lose their appetite'. Some horses are just fussy eaters, while smaller horses have difficulty consuming large meals. However, many horses that are usually good eaters become picky or uninterested and start to leave food uneaten, particularly when work is commenced. When raced or competed on a regular basis, these horses lose condition, energy and the ability to perform to expectation and to recover quickly from exercise.

The effect of AppeTITE is instant.

SIZES: 946mL; 3.78L

Dosage: Feed 30mL - 60mL daily.

• AppeTITE is designed to be mixed in the horse’s feed.
• Give 30mL until horse is eating normally. If necessary, increase to 60mL with each feed for three days or until improvement in eating has occurred.
• Feeding recommendations are for 500kg bodyweight.
• Shake well before use. Protect from freezing.

4CYTE Equine is a revolutionary advancement for horses suffering from osteoarthritis.

Lameness due to joint injury and progressive disease is the most prevalent cause of deteriorating athletic function in performance horses and constitutes a large percentage of the equine practitioner's caseload.

When to use 4Cyte Equine:

• Supplement to address symptoms such as stiffness or a lack of willingness to perform e.g. jump, gallop or canter.
• Support for moderate to severe arthritis in conjunction with other pain treatments.
• Support for healing after a joint injury or operation.
• Preventatively to promote healthy joints in high performance horses. 

• comes in convenient palatable raspberry flavoured granules

Not all measuring jugs are created equal. These Fjord jugs are made to suit industry, rather than just the kitchen. They are highly chemical-resistant, food grade polypropylene, and they are easy and safe to hold.

Fjord carefully researched the ergonomics of handling a jug of potentially dangerous liquid. The handles suit a gloved hand as well as a bare hand - a very important feature. When using a Fjord jug full to specified volume, there is still heaps of freeboard. And the spout pours precisely. And the measurement marks won't rub off.

So buying these quality jugs is worth more than their price.

Muscle damage is a constant risk in working horses, leading to reduced performance or inability to work. PRESERVE contains the antioxidants that help to preserve normal muscle function and minimize the severity of any muscle damage, including tying up. It will aid in the reduction of stiffness and soreness during or after work that can hamper performance or recovery. PRESERVE helps horses recover after work, reducing down-time between performance and return to training.

PRESERVE contains vitamins and minerals that help keep the immune system operating effectively. The stress of work can often lead to the immune system becoming less effective, with the result that the horse becomes more susceptible to diseases such as colds and coughs. Research has shown that supplementary Vitamin E and selenium provided to a pregnant mare can boost antibody transfer to the foal in colostrum.

PRESERVE contains higher levels of antioxidants than are contained in most general vitamin and mineral supplements. It also contains additional vitamin C, selenium and magnesium to provide advantages over supplements which only contain vitamin E. This is especially important in selenium deficient areas. Each dose of PRESERVE contains organic selenium. Research has shown that organic selenium is retained more efficiently by the horse than inorganic forms.

USES:

• As an antioxidant blend.
• As a vitamin E or selenium supplement.
• Assists in the prevention of tying up and muscle soreness.
• Maintenance of immunity.

SandBuster is designed to feed to horses exposed to dry or sandy conditions, where accumulation of sand may have occurred in the hindgut.

SandBuster contains a blend of ingredients each selected because of their unique action on causing increased rate of passage, becoming gelatinous and supporting intestinal mucosa repair.

Horses can graze very close to the ground, and when grazing on sandy soils, or fed in yards/stalls with a sandy floor, they can often inadvertently take in sand. Under most conditions this is not an issue, however under some circumstances due to the sand being heavy, it can accumulate in the hindgut and cause a blockage and abdominal pain. The movement of sand through the intestines depends on the rate of passage of the digesta (undigested food).

Due to the ongoing drought conditions seen in most of Australia, the risk of sand colic and sand related blockages is increasing, as horses strive to find pasture to eat. Many horse owners feed hay on the ground (which is a healthy way for horses to eat as it mimics the natural grazing practice), but as the horse eats the last of the hay they often accidentally consume some of the dirt or sand that is underneath.

The accumulation of sand can be exacerbated when the rate of passage is slow.
What you can do:
• Provide hay or feed in feeders off the ground
• Avoid overgrazing if possible
• Feed a supplement that swells when added to water, and assists the clearance of sand in the faeces.

Ingredients:
A proprietary blend [Psyllium husk, CoolStance (Coconut meal), Montmorillonite] 125g.

Feeding Guide:
Feed once daily for 8 days once a month, or as required.
Can be added to feed or fed alone.
Always provide access to clean water.
Feed: 1 x standard cup per day (125g)
Recommended rate based on a 500kg horse
SandBuster can be fed wet or dry. We don’t recommend soaking it, we recommend feeding it immediately after adding the water so that the SandBuster is still swelling and becoming sticky as it is fed to get maximum benefits.
