Up-Cal Injectable Solution
The Ultimate Metabolic Recovery Solution for Livestock
Up-Cal Inj is a high-potency, rapid-acting metabolic treatment designed for the South African livestock farmer. It is an essential "emergency bottle" for every farm medicine chest, specifically formulated to treat acute mineral imbalances like Milk Fever and Grass Staggers.
Unlike standard calcium-only solutions, Up-Cal provides a multi-pronged recovery formula that includes Calcium, Magnesium, Glucose, and Caffeine to jumpstart an animal's system during severe metabolic collapse.
🐄 Why Up-Cal belongs in your farm kit:
-
Rapid Action: Quickly restores essential mineral levels to help "downer" animals get back on their feet.
-
The Energy Factor: Contains Glucose (Dextrose) to combat Ketosis and provide an immediate energy boost to weak ewes and cows.
-
Circulatory Support: The inclusion of Caffeine acts as a mild stimulant, helping to support heart function and wake up the central nervous system during recovery.
-
Multi-Species Versatility: Safe and effective for use in Cattle, Sheep, Goats, Pigs, and Horses.
📋 Key Indications:
-
Milk Fever (Hypocalcaemia): Ideal for cows and ewes before, during, or after calving.
-
Grass Staggers (Hypomagnesaemia): Essential for livestock on lush, mineral-deficient winter pastures.
-
Ketosis & Pregnancy Toxaemia: Critical support for "Twin Lamb Disease" in ewes.
-
Post-Calving Weakness: A reliable supportive treatment for difficult deliveries and exhausted animals.
