* The contents of sachets A and B should be added to 2 litres (approximately 3.5 pints) of fresh water, at a temperature of about 35°C

* When scour symptoms show immediately withdraw milk or milk replacer and offer 2 litres of solution twice daily for two days (four feeds)

* For the next four feeds offer 1 litre of Lectade Plus solution added to 1 litre of milk or milk replacer. Thereafter feed as normal

* If the scouring is established or severe, thus causing serious dehydration, the solution should be fed three or four times daily
