Durvet D3 Drench Oral Supplement for Cattle

What Is D3 Drench and How Does It Support Cattle?

When cattle face stress, illness, or the post-calving period, their nutritional balance can be compromised. D3 Drench offers a concentrated liquid supplement to quickly restore essential minerals and energy. Formulated specifically for adult beef and dairy cattle, this oral drench delivers a balanced blend of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, and dextrose. These nutrients play crucial roles in muscle function, energy metabolism, and overall physiological health. By providing a rapid source of electrolytes and energy, D3 Drench helps support recovery when cattle are off feed or under environmental strain.

Key Ingredients and Their Roles

• Calcium: Vital for muscle contraction, nerve transmission, and blood clotting. Helps prevent hypocalcaemia (milk fever) in dairy cows.
• Phosphorus: Works alongside calcium for bone integrity and energy transfer (ATP). Important for appetite and growth.
• Magnesium: Supports enzyme function and muscle relaxation. Helps reduce the risk of grass tetany.
• Potassium: Maintains electrolyte balance and proper heart function. Often depleted during stress or diarrhoea.
• Dextrose: A simple sugar that provides quick energy, aiding recovery when cattle are weak or off feed.
