Epic II CL in the Control of Calf Diarrhea
- To control calf diarrhea, it appears that the environment of the
digestive tract seem to contribute to the severity of the diarrhea that
is present.
The presence of high levels of ammonia in the digestive tract seem to
have a profound effect on the appearance of diarrhea. High levels of
quality protein and non-protein nitrogen lead to this situation. The
intestinal integrity is greatly enhanced and disease resistance is
strengthened when high ammonia levels are controlled. Healthier
digestive tract tissue acts as a positive barrier to viruses, bacteria and
toxins that produce lethal disease conditions.
One of the main reasons to use Epic II CL is the promotion of a healthy
digestive tract, rendering disease less of a factor in a healthy growing
calf.
The overall results of less diarrhea, faster growth, better feed intake
and utilization, less labor and drug expense in raising quality calves
are all realized. In contrast, high ammonia levels in the digestive tract
inhibit the fermentation of feed stuffs and contribute to unthrifty
calves.
