Frequently asked questions

When should Ovi Digest be used?

During reduced appetite, stress periods, or convalescence, especially around postpartum phases.

They help fluid and electrolyte balance in fragile digestive situations.

Main objectives

  • Promote appetite recovery.
  • Support digestive and rumen function.
  • Improve energy and electrolyte status.
  • Support animals during convalescence.

Key components

  • Propylene glycol, dextrose, maltodextrin, sorbitol, propionate: rapid energy support.
  • Sodium and potassium: fluid and electrolyte rebalancing.
  • Lysine, methionine, arginine, and vitamin B12: metabolic and performance support.
  • Fish oil (omega 3): metabolic and immune support.

Usage periods

  • Reduced appetite or early anorexia.
  • After stress (illness, transport, feed change).
  • Postpartum recovery and as support alongside veterinary treatment.

Usage conditions

  • Ewes: 50 ml morning and evening for 5 days.
