[QUOTE="Fred, post: 352359, member: 125"] This is from a paper I saved from 1992. I have never used this recipe. Two Colorado State University vets have developed a treatment for calf scours that uses ingredients found in most kitchens. The formula supplies all the immediate nutrient and electrollyte needs of the diarrheic calf. The veteranarians say the following formula is palatable and most calves nurse it from a bottle. 1 3/4 oz (pkg) fruit pectin 1 tsp lite salt 2 tsp baking soda 10 1/2 oz (1 can) beef consomme, warm water to make 2 quarts The vets recommend feeding an 80 pound or heavier calf two quarts of the formula two or three times a day, and say feedings should continue for 24 hours. After 24 hours , and at least one hour after the last formula feeding, start feeding milk replacer,milk or acidophilus milk at a volume of not more than 2.5 percent of body weight per feeding. Administer morning, noon, and night for 3 or 4 days.Small quanities of milk given frequently seem to allow the digestive system to handle the resumption of milk feeding without recurrence of diarrhea, and a progrom of antibiotic also can be helpful. the researchers say. What gives this formula its punch is the fruit pectin, which contains 70 to 75 % glucose, compared to often used corn syrup, which is less than 23 % glucose, or table sugar, which is less than 5% glucose. The vets say supplementing calves with a bottle get this glucose into the blood more quickly than supplying qlucose to the calves via a stomach tube. Supplying glucose by the tube apparently results in a pooling of the solution in a nonfunctional rumen, and delayes its transit to the abomasum. Like I said, this is from a 1992 paper put out by the sale barn. [/QUOTE]
