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.
