Diarrhoea often occurs with lambs and kids at change of feed, and in case of weak and chilled animals, re-housing, heavy germ pressure or a new infection in the herd. During diarrhoea, the mucous membrane may be damaged irreversibly, resulting in a poorer feed conversion, a lower growth rate and a more delicate gastrointestinal system. In addition, the wool of the lamb gets dirty during diarrhoea, which makes it more difficult to shear the lamb, resulting in lower earnings. Antibiotic treatment increases the risk of resistant bacteria and, therefore, should only be applied where necessary. BIOFIBER·DAMINO has developed a natural remedy for the treatment of diarrhoea, by which the harmful bacteria are removed and the natural balance in the intestine is re-established.

CaprOvin

CaprOvin is a dietetic supplemental feed for the prevention and the treatment of diarrhoea in lambs and kids and is suitable for automatic milk feeders. CaprOvin contains specially treated vegetable fibres, electrolytes and glucose. CaprOvin is applied during periods with diarrhoea problems, regardless if bacteria, vira or the feed causes the diarrhoea. CaprOvin is an excellent supplement to antibiotic treatment. CaprOvin restores the balance in the intestinal flora and stabilizes the balance of water and electrolytes. CaprOvin can be mixed with milk, which minimizes the weight loss in case of diarrhoea.
