CalfLak Plus

An oral natural probiotic electrolyte formula to aid in the treatment of diarrhea and dehydration in calves, lambs and foals, scouring calf or dehydrated transported calves.

Description: Micro Flora Stabilizer Preparation for Calves, Lambs, Foals, Pets and other Animals. With A Source of Live Beneficial Naturally Occurring Organisms, Vitamins, Electrolytes and Trace Minerals.

CalfLak Plus contains a uniquely sturdy strain of Lactobacillus acidophilus in an optimal soluble culture of human grade purity.

PURPOSE: To be fed as early as possible to animals as an aid in the prevention and treatment of the effects of stress, scours - diarrhea . CalfLak Plus provides essential electrolytes, and minerals lost due to scours and dehydration. CalfLak Plus is a source of natural beneficial microorganisms for the reestablishment of a positive microflora in the gastro-intestinal tract.

CalfLak Plus is a concentrated source of unusually viable lactobacilli. Using it after therapeutic antibiotic dosages can restore and then protect the natural gut ecology of the treated animal.

CalfLak Plus Summary: Lactobacilli are a safe, natural aid to digestion and the establishment of a proper gut microbial balance.

General
Like the antimicrobial compounds and lactic acid, lactobacilli's produce hydrogen peroxide which is a metabolic by-product of lactobacilli organisms. Also like lactobacilli, it works within the gut to control the growth of harmful bacteria.

One study of lactobacilli cultures revealed that the growth of Pseudomonas, Bacillus and Proteus bacteria declined as the lactobacilli's production of hydrogen peroxide increased. Another study concluded that lactobacilli can be beneficial in food products because of their ability to produce hydrogen peroxide. This study indicated that it was the hydrogen peroxide produced by the lactobacilli that enabled them to suppress the growth of S. aureus, E. coli, C. botulinum and other undesirable organism s.

Many researchers are simply not certain of the precise bacteriostatic roles played by antimicrobials, lactic acid and hydrogen peroxide. What is certain is that substances produced by Lactobacillus acidophilus do help establish a normal gut microflora. They do so by inhibiting the growth of disease-causing organisms within intestinal tracts.

Other Nutrients: Lactase, acidolin, lactic acid and hydrogen peroxide are the most significant by-products of Lactobacillus acidophilus metabolism. But it is an interesting sidelight on the ancient, mutualistic relationship between this organism and animals that several other beneficial by-products are also produced. Among them are thiamine, riboflavin, pyridoxine, niacin, biotin, choline, Vitamin B-12 and pantothenic, lipoic and folic acid.

Using treatment level doses of a broad spectrum antibiotic destroys most-if not all-of the bacteria in the intestinal tract, including lactobacilli. Since most bacteria are beneficial or neutral and since bacteria make up a high percentage of most gut contents, such dosages leave an unbalanced gut condition as a side effect.

Using CalfLak Plus soon after such antibiotic treatment can counter this side effect. As lactobacilli establish in the treated gut, the weakened animal benefits quickly from the restorative effects of this organism. In addition, introducing lacto bacilli to the bacteria-free gut of a treated animal is similar to the inoculating effect of introducing lactobacilli to newborns. If lactobacilli are the first organisms to re-enter the treated gut, they can reduce the pathogenic effects of re-entering harmful bacteria.

DIRECTIONS: Mix 200 to 300 grams per/ton/total feed in livestock and poultry and pet food rations. Very effective in aiding younger animals into conversion to grain rations and stabilizing stressed animals after anti-biotic treatment, at a rate of 300 to 500 g/per/ton.

May also be mixed with cow's milk or water for calves, foals, sheep, piglets and puppies. For younger animals continue to feed for the first 12 to 30 days. General use rates 3 to 5g per head/day.

Example Of Calflak Plus In Calves

The following results were compiled from a recent field trial on 60 veal calves (30 test, 30 control). The results demonstrate that the CalfLak Plus treated calves had a lower incidence of scours and no mortality when compared to the control group.

MORTALITY
 With CalfLak Plus...............................  0% 
 Without CalfLak Plus.......................... 17% 
    
                                        
 PERCENT SCOURING FIRST THREE DAYS
With CalfLak Plus................................. 75%
Without CalfLak Plus............................ 100%

TOTAL INCREASE OF SCOURS OBSERVED DURING TRIAL
 With CalfLak Plus................................. 65%
