Fight dehydration quickly and safely by drench feeding with this 2-quart Ideal Oral Fluid Feeder. This is the recommended procedure for rehydration in stressed cattle. Fluid depletion or dehydration in cattle can also be symptomatic of a variety of illnesses and diseases, such as excessive diarrhea or vomiting, kidney ailments, constant fevers, and infectious scours, just to name a few.

Immediate replacement of crucial nutrients along with high-quality drinking water is vital for rapid recovery. Drugs alone won't help. The most recommended procedure for rehydration is to administer the right mix of ingredients to the animal. One of the most efficient procedures for doing this is through oral fluid feeding.
