THE PROBLEM:
Dehydration from scours, diarrhea, or other digestive problems poses a significant threat to the health and future productivity of newborn calves, and significantly increases the expenses and labor required to care for the animals. Current products cannot help calves retain fluids quickly enough to avoid severe dehydration—the ultimate goal in managing scours.
THE SOLUTION:
Neonorm Calf is a new product to help dairies and calf farms proactively retain fluid in calves—helping the animals avoid debilitating, dangerous levels of dehydration.
Calves that avoid severe dehydration before it occurs are better equipped to fight off the infection that led to scours.
Neonorm Calf is an advanced product that operates at the cellular level to inhibit the flow of fluids into the intestines—the location where vital fluids leave the body during scours. It is not an electrolyte or a nutritional supplement.
A Clinically Proven Solution
A study evaluating the effect of Neonorm Calf on diarrhea in newborn calves was published in Journal of Dairy Science, the official, peer-reviewed journal of the American Dairy Science Association, in 20151. The study was conducted by researchers from Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine.
The study results suggest that Neonorm Calf can significantly increase the fecal dry matter of neonatal calves with experimentally-induced enterotoxigenic E. coli diarrhea. Higher fecal dry matter is an indication of less water loss and lower dehydration risk.
