Support vs Sick Bay

FAQs

What's the Difference between Support and Sick Bay?

Support is designed for use across all animals to support them at a cellular level during times of stress, when first coming into the rearing shed or de-budding for example.

Sick Bay is our top-spec formulation for individual animals (or entire pen if need be) that are heavily distressed and/or with severe scours. Helpful for those in the sick pen.

Hear what kiwi farmers have to say about Ruminate's Support electrolytes.

Ruminate electrolytes were just what I was looking for and I highly recommend.

Magic products Ruminate!

We are using Support on every heifer replacement as they come into the shed, and its working wonders. Had a heifer hurt her knee, was in pain and refused to drink, gace her metacan and some Support, by the next morning she was bellowing at the gate when she saw me and straight onto the feeder. Magic products Ruminate!

Minimal losses, minimal sickness, through using Ruminate electrolytes we noticed a difference mas...

Here at Tuki tuki Dairy goats we run 1200 milking nannies, and also looking to raise close to 1000 calves this year as part of our diversification. We use all products from Ruminate including the electrolytes range, and I can't speak highly enough of it. Last year we used it fully for all calves coming in and to basically clean out and used it to transition them to milk powder. We had minimal losses, minimal sickness, through using Ruminate electrolytes we noticed a difference massively.
