Prolyt Pack® Extra is an easy-to-use solution for the rehydration of calves that are suffering from diarrhea. It contains highly available buffers, electrolytes, energy, and zinc that aid in recovery. It can be easily mixed with milk or milk replacer. Electrolyte rehydration becomes more convenient with Prolyt Pack® Extra!
Our effective range of feed additives and dietary feed supplements are specifically selected and developed to support animal health and productivity. Their modes of action add value and benefit.
Functions to help regulate osmotic pressure and maintain cellular homeostasis, particularly in response to environmental stressors. In the intestine, this function helps maintain intestinal integrity.
Effectively restores the acid-base balance and helps to prevent the development of metabolic acidosis by stabilizing the blood pH value at the physiological optimum.
Animals require high quality energy in times of reduced feed intake, or during resource-heavy processes like growth, production, recovery, or high stress to remain in a positive energy balance.
Strengthening of mucosal linings by supporting tight junction formation, immune response, epithelial regeneration, and mucous secretion. This mechanism prevents harmful substances from entering the blood system.

Diarrhea is a common problem on almost all farms. It affects calves in the first few weeks of life. As the severity of dehydration increases, so does the intestinal loss of buffers and electrolytes. This can lead to metabolic acidosis or even shock. Thus, calves with diarrhea need proper care and support.
Prolyt Pack® Extra is a special oral rehydration solution. It has been developed to effectively support calves with diarrhea. It is formulated with sodium propionate, electrolytes, betaine, zinc, and a source of energy. These ingredients work together to provide a simple and effective approach to the correction of metabolic acidosis and dehydration.
Prolyt Pack® Extra contains sodium propionate as a buffer agent. Propionate can be a source of energy and enhances sodium absorption in the small intestine. In addition, sodium propionate does not alkalize the abomasum. Therefore, it does not interfere with milk coagulation like other buffers do—especially those containing bicarbonate.
It’s important not to stop feeding calves with diarrhea, which can cause energy and protein deficiencies. One of the most important advantages of Prolyt Pack® Extra is that it is easily mixed with milk or milk replacers. This ensures that calves continue to receive the high milk intake that is essential for them to recover and develop.
Prolyt Pack® Extra is formulated with betaine, which acts as an osmolyte to improve cell hydration. Due to its osmoprotectant function, betaine helps prevent dehydration by retaining water in intestinal cells. Even during times of high stress—when ion pumps usually stop working—betaine is transferred into the cell.
Prolyt Pack® Extra helps minimize water loss and improve gut function, resulting in speedier recovery from diarrhea. Prolyt Pack® Extra also contains organically bound zinc to help regenerate damaged intestinal epithelium and improve intestinal barrier function. This helps the calf quickly return to high performance levels.
Don’t let diarrhea hold back your calves’ health and development. Prolyt Pack® Extra is a convenient and effective solution to help calves recover quickly from diarrhea and reach their full potential.
