[QUOTE="steveaust, post: 43963, member: 407"] Im using an oral,non-antibiotic,supportive treatment to replace lost fluids and electrolytes,brand name in australia is vytrate.My problem is that it costs an arm and a leg @ $17 a litre in concentrated form.This makes up 12 litres which is gone in the blink of an eye when you have a few calves scouring at once(usually when we have just bought them in).Is there some sort of home brew i can whack together that will do the trick?Vytrate contains per litre-glucose278g,salt53g,glycine38g,potassium phosphate25g,potassium citrate 0.75g,citric acid monohydrate3.26g.sounds like mostly sugar salt and water to me.If i can make it up cheap i can use it more freely.Any advice greatly appreciated. :D [/QUOTE]
