Easy to administer, Biopect can be fed in milk, milk replacer or in water. Feed to young animals (calves, lambs, kids, foals or piglets) after periods of risk, such as stress from:

For young animals with nutritional scours or mild diarrhoea, Biopect can be used as a supplement to provide an energy boost.
How does Biopect work?
Biopect contains electrolytes, energy and pectins:
Pectins and other fibres from dried fruit and pulp form a protective gel-like layer in the intestines
Electrolytes may provide essential mineral salts
Glucose provides energy and aids in the absorption of electrolytes.
