THE PROVEN PROGRAMME TO OVERCOME HEAT STRESS
Selectolyte and Anigane This flow diagram is an explanation of the occurrence of heat stress and its effects on the main systems of the body and why Selectolyte and Anigane help to overcome the problem. Detected by

pH NO LONGER ‘SPARED’ BY KIDNEY ACID NEUTRALISED BY BICARBONATE AND EXCRETED LOSS OF ELECTROLYTE BALANCE AFFECTS INDIVIDUAL CELLS AND REDUCES THE EFFICIENCY OF THE ANIMAL. As electrolyte balance is upset this leads to loss of homeostasis which results in body’s resources being diverted into unproductive efforts to restore the balance. Thus losing production - growth, eggs etc. This situation deteriorates as ambient temperatures rise above 20ºC and R.H. rises. Normal control is soon lost. Dietary electrolyte balance should be restored by adding SELECTOLYTE to the water or feed. SELECTOLYTE contains SODIUM, POTASSIUM and BICARBONATE - the key electrolytes.
