DESCRIPTION:
KPI-Heat stress relief Oral is a refreshing, rehydrating and stress relieving oral solution for poultry.
It reduces mortality and productivity losses in animals suffering from heat stress due to high ambient temperatures and a high relative humidity.
Betaine prevents dehydration as it retains water in the mucosal cells of the gut wall, which reduces water loss in faeces and improves faecal consistency.
Nutrient absorption is also improved. Vitamin C relieves symptoms and health problems associated with heat stress.
Magnesium blood concentrations has been found to be decreased in heat-stressed hens. Extra magnesium is then needed for normal energy metabolism and prevention of weight loss. During heat stress, sodium and potassium
are decreased, which results in a disrupted acidbase balance. Supplementing feed or water with different electrolyte salts (containing potassium, calcium, chloride and sodium) repairs this balance.
BENEFITS:
– Relieves symptoms and health problems associated with theat stress
– Reduces mortality rates and productivity losses induced by heat stress
– Stimulates the recovery from dehydration
– Simple administration through drinking water
DOSAGE:
For oral administration through drinking water.
Poultry:
Prevention: 1 liter per 1000 liters of drinking water for 3 – 5 days,
starting 2 days before the onset of the hot period.
Control: 1 liter per 500 liters of drinking water for 3 – 5 days.
The use of KPI-Heat stress relief Oral may be continued if heat stress persists.
A fresh solution should be prepared at least every 24 hours.
