Spark Liquid, formulated by veterinarians, is a fast and effective energy and electrolyte source to ensure optimum results for rehydration, replenishment and recovery.

An essential tool in times of extreme temperature, as a first aid supplement for sick, stressed or injured birds, and is also an invaluable tool for birds in transport or on show.

Why do we recommend Spark Liquid?

During times of heat stress (e.g. birds have their wings out, are mouth-breathing and are down on the ground) birds are undergoing changes in their body chemistry. Their blood pH is altering, their sodium and potassium levels are out of kilter and their fluid balance is incorrect. While we struggle to control the temperature, we must also help the birds return to normal as soon as possible – this is why we use electrolytes!

When we are talking about electrolytes - it is balance that is key. Not only do all body cells require electrolytes to function correctly, they require certain amounts of each type of electrolyte.

Along with the supplementation of electrolytes, Vetafarm Spark Liquid also includes vital carbohydrates that will greatly improve the recovery from stress, travelling, illness, and, of course, heat.

Key Features of Spark Liquid Concentrate:

Hydrates and Supports
During times of extreme temperature, transportation, showing, illness, and recovery.

Energy and Electrolytes
Balanced electrolytes and carbohydrates to boost energy levels for recovery.

Internal parasites can cause serious health issues in poultry if not treated regularly. Laying Hen Wormout solution has been formulated to provide a simple in-water treatment for intestinal parasites in laying hens with no withholding period on eggs.

Laying Hen Wormout Solution provides simultaneous treatment of the sensitive strains of the three most important intestinal worms in laying hens: large roundworm (Ascaridia galli), caecal worm (Heterakis gallinae), and hairworm (Capillaria spp.).

Worms are typically transmitted from bird to bird through the fecal-oral route. This is where worm eggs are excreted in droppings and then ingested by birds that scratch and peck at the soil, litter, or droppings. Ingestion of infected earthworms, slugs and other secondary hosts can also spread parasitic worms.

The most common intestinal worms that infect laying hens include large roundworm, caecal worm and hairworm. Roundworms, are the largest worms affecting poultry. These worms can cause intestinal impaction and fatalities in severe cases. Hairworms are small, thread-like, and barely visible to the naked eye, even small burdens can be pathogenic and can be fatal quite quickly. Caecal worms are short and white with a pointed tail, their eggs may remain viable for months in the environment.

Signs of worm infection may include reduced appetite, weight loss, pale combs due to anaemia and intermittent diarrhoea. Egg production may drop, with smaller eggs, pale yolks and fragile shells. In severe cases, worms can cause impactions or blockages, damage the intestinal wall of poultry and may even interfere with the chicken’s ability to absorb nutrients.

Regular treatment (once every 3 months) provides parasite control to assist in the prevention of potential health problems associated with parasite infestation.

Vetafarm Laying Hen Wormout Solution provides simultaneous treatment of the sensitive strains of the three most important intestinal worms in laying hens: large roundworm (Ascaridia galli), caecal worm (Heterakis gallinae), and hairworm (Capillaria spp.).

Laying Hen Wormout Solution has no withholding period on eggs, meaning eggs are safe for consumption after treating hens.

Restraints: DO NOT USE less than 7 days before slaughter for human consumption.

Dosage and Administration:
 Do not treat in extremely hot weather due to increased water consumption.
Dilute Laying Hen Wormout Solution with drinking water at a rate of 50mL solution per L of water.
Repeat treatment once every three months (4 times per year).
For maximum efficiency against worms, the medicated drinking water must be consumed in the shortest possible time. Water should be withheld from the birds 2 hours before nightfall. Medicated water should be supplied the following morning. Replace the medicated water with fresh water as soon as it is all consumed or after 8 hours. Medicated water remaining at the end of the treatment period is to be discarded and containers flushed out with fresh water.

For best results with medicated drinking water:
1 Administer medicated drinking water in the drinkers that the birds are accustomed to using.
2 Avoid treating on cold or wet days when normal water consumption is reduced.

WITHHOLDING PERIOD:
Meat: DO NOT USE less than 7 days before slaughter for
human consumption.
Eggs: Zero (0) days

Ingredients: 16 mg/mL Levamisol

SAFETY DIRECTIONS:
Harmful if swallowed. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Wash hands after use.

In late 2020 International Animal Health began rebranding Protexin to a new name  "ProN8ure". 

BENEFITS of ProN8ure: 

• Establishment of beneficial gut microflora
• Suppression of E. Coli Salmonella & Aeromonas spp
• Treatment and control of scouring and diarrhoea
• Improved digestibility of feed
• Improved growth and feed conversion
• Reduced digestive upsets
• Enhanced animal health
• Re-establishment of gut microflora following antibiotics, wormers or vaccination
• Reducing stress (stress disrupts normal intestinal balance)
• Safe, non-toxic and residue-free.

ProN8ure is the most advanced multi-strain Probiotic in the world today.
 Unlike many other Probiotics that consist primarily of a single strain of bacteria, ProN8ure consists of seven different naturally occurring bacteria. The effectiveness and synergy of these strains has been proven in years of trials and production application.

The uniqueness of ProN8ure is not just confined to its multi-strain formulation. Research and Development has produced a special "protection" to ensure the highest possible numbers of bacteria survive the journey through the hostile conditions of the crop or stomach, into the gut where they rapidly begin to work for the benefit of the animal.

ProN8ure's introduction to Australia makes it the first and to date, the only nationally registered Probiotic approved for administration to animals and birds.

What is a Probiotic and how does it work?
  The digestive system of all animals and birds is home to literally billions of bacteria and yeasts referred to as Microflora.
Microflora are essential to the health of any animal; aiding the digestion, breaking down cellulose and other indigestible substances; helping the synthesis and absorption of vitamins and minerals; stimulating the immune system and preventing the proliferation of pathogens. (Pathogens reduce nutrient absorption, animal performance and cause disease).

Stress, in all forms is one of the major causes of disruption to the normal balance of microflora in the gut, allowing proliferation of pathogens. Loss of appetite, picky eating, scouring, poor condition and changes in temperament are some of the less consequences. Stress is easily induced with some common causes being: changes in diet, heavy work or training, temperature extremes, breeding, transportation, worming, vaccinations and changes to environment. 

Use of ProN8ure in these circumstances protects horses from negative intestinal changes while improving digestive efficiency and general health.

Antibiotics are particularly harmful to gut microflora, leaving animals susceptible to re-infection. ProN8ure should always be administered following any course of antibiotics. The digestive system plays a vital role in the health, vigour and performance of horses. Its correct functioning is dependent on the level and balance of bacteria and yeasts called microflora. Microflora have the major role in breaking down indigestible nutrients, in the synthesis and absorption of vitamins and minerals, in stimulating the immune system and in preventing the proliferation of pathogens in the gut.

All horses benefit from ProN8ure's ability to stabilise intestinal microflora, maximise gut health and resist the effects of stress.

DOSAGE:
Dose at stress levels for the first 5 days and then dose at maintenance levels. Stress level dose may need to be continued for longer if necessary.

Stress Levels Dose / Day; Horses: 20g Ponies: 10g Foals: 10g Dogs: 2g to 6g Puppies: 2g Cats & Kittens: 2g Cattle, pigs, sheep, goats: 4g Calves, piglets, lambs, kids: 2g Poultry: Chicks 1g/L drinking water, Adult Birds 500g/500L drinking water. Caged Birds: 1g/L drinking water.

Maintenance Doses are half the stress level dose.
