Hydra-Lyte Electrolyte Replacement is a powdered nutritional supplement designed to support fluid and electrolyte balance in young calves, lambs, kids and foals. Each packet holds two separate compartments, one containing a dextrose-based energy source and the other an electrolyte blend of sodium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium acetate, sodium citrate and glycine. The powder is dissolved in warm water and, because the formula carries no added bicarbonate, the finished solution can also be combined with milk or milk replacer. Once mixed, the solution is typically offered with a nursing bottle, pail or esophageal feeder. It is intended to be fed as an extra meal while regular milk or milk replacer feedings continue. Packets are sized for a single feeding and should be stored in a cool, dry place until they are mixed for use.
