Cofavit C Oral Powder Treatment of Vitamin C Deficiency

What is Cofavit C used for?

Ascorbic acid, better known as vitamin C, is an essential molecule that plays a key role in many biological functions in cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, rabbits, poultry and game. Unfortunately, these species cannot always synthesize this vitamin in sufficient quantities, which can lead to severe deficiencies and affect their general health and zootechnical performance.

Vitamin C deficiency can result in general weakness, lowered immune defenses, loss of appetite, slower growth and increased susceptibility to infection. In times of environmental stress, or in the case of infectious pathologies, the animal's organism may experience a considerable increase in vitamin C demand. Cofavit C is a feed supplement designed to meet these increased needs and ensure optimal metabolism.

In intensive livestock farming, animals are often subjected to major stress factors: frequent handling, transport, dietary changes, high heat, infections and prolonged veterinary treatments. All these factors can alter their physiological balance, generating vitamin C deficiencies and reducing their ability to fight pathogens.

The administration of Cofavit C restores optimal levels of ascorbic acid in the body, helping to strengthen the immune system, reduce the impact of periods of stress, and accelerate recovery after an infectious episode or a period of excessive fatigue.

In addition, theascorbic acid contained in Cofavit C plays an essential role iniron absorption, haemoglobin production and connective tissue formation. Its action on cellular metabolism is crucial for optimizing growth, maintaining good body condition and guaranteeing high zootechnical performance.

Finally, this supplement is particularly recommended for animals in periods of growth, convalescence or exposed to demanding rearing conditions. It is an effective and safe solution for efficient, sustainable agricultural production.

As a complement, we recommend the use of Vitamin Vita C Effect Horses LPG oral powder, a multi-species nutritional supplement that enables effective supplementation in the event of nutritional deficiencies, critical periods or prolonged stress.

How to use this treatment for vitamin C deficiency?

The dosage and route of administration of Cofavit C vary according to the species being treated. Here are the veterinary laboratory's recommendations:

• For poultry: 50 mg to 100 mgascorbic acid per kg live weight per day for 3 to 5 days, orally, i.e. 0.5 to 1 g powder for drinkable solution per liter of drinking water per day.
• For other species (cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, rabbits, game): 10 mg to 20 mgascorbic acid per kg bodyweight per day for 3 to 5 days, orally, i.e. 0.1 to 0.2 g powder for oral solution per 10 kg bodyweight.

This powder for oral solution is intended to be diluted in milk, liquid food or drinking water before use. It should never be administered as such.

• In the event of gestation or lactation, use should be reserved for necessary cases, as no studies on teratogenicity have been carried out.
