Electrolytes: Why They're Essential for Your Pets' Well-Being

🐷 Electrolytes – the overlooked key to healthier and stronger livestock

Ensuring good health and well-being in livestock is a top priority for every modern farmer. But one important factor is often overlooked: electrolytes .

These tiny minerals play a huge role in an animal’s daily functioning – especially during stress, illness and hot weather. In this post, we delve into why electrolytes are crucial – and how AstaLyte can be your solution for better animal welfare and higher productivity.

💧 What are electrolytes – and why are they important?

• Sodium (Na⁺)
• Potassium (K⁺)
• Chloride (Cl⁻)
• Magnesium (Mg²⁺)

They ensure, among other things:

• Proper fluid balance
• Normal nerve and muscle function
• Stable pH in the body
• Optimal enzyme activity and digestion

🚨 When the balance is off: Typical causes of electrolyte imbalance

• Heat stress – especially during summer periods
• Diarrhea – especially in piglets and calves
• Transport and moving – causes physiological stress
• Low food or water intake

• Lethargy, weakness

• Diarrhea and fluid loss
