Product Information
Full details
Provita Prolyte Extra is an essential dietary supplement specifically engineered for farmers and livestock managers looking to support scouring calves during digestive distress. It provides a potent combination of electrolytes, vitamins, and probiotics to restore gut health and hydration; however, it is intended for use at the first sign of digestive upset rather than as a substitute for veterinary care in severe clinical cases.

FAQs
How many sachets do I need for one calf?
A full course of treatment consists of up to 4 applications.
Can this be used with milk replacer?
Prolyte Extra is designed to be used during rehydration; please consult your feeding program to ensure proper timing relative to milk intake.
What is the role of Glycine in this product?
Glycine is an amino acid included to help coat the gut lining, protecting it from further irritation during a bout of scours.
Does this product require refrigeration?
No, but it should be kept in a cool, dry place to maintain the efficacy of the probiotic ingredients.
Is this the same as Provita Protect?
It contains the same high-level, multi-strain probiotic bacteria found in Provita Protect, but with the addition of electrolytes and vitamins for rehydration support.
Troubleshooting
Calf refuses to drink the mixture
Ensure the water temperature is palatable and check if the calf is too weak to suckle, which may require tube feeding under veterinary guidance.
No improvement after 4 applications
Cease the supplement and contact a veterinarian immediately, as the calf may have an underlying infection requiring prescription medication.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare, ensure you have a clean mixing vessel and warm water at the recommended temperature. Simply empty one 76g sachet into the water and stir until fully dissolved. The supplement is compatible with standard calf feeding programs, but it should be spaced appropriately from milk feedings if advised by your herd health plan. Store the sachets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the viability of the probiotic bacteria. Always monitor the calf's intake closely to ensure they are consuming the full dosage.
