vitamin/electrolyte toxic levels?

[Lazy Farmer]

Several vets have suggested offering fresh water in addition to electrolyte water. So two water sources, one with electrolytes, one without.

Thank you.

Connie, thanks so much for sharing the problem you had. By sharing this information, you may save some one else from a similar occurrence. Many newbies use lytes to excess, thinking that if a little is good, then a lot must be better.

In the end, my thrifty ness came back and bit me in the wallet more than the cost of a $2.99 pouch of supplement. Instead of pouring leftover chemicals in the waste can, I threw $50 of chicks in the waste can.
Oh well.. Live and learn. Thanks all for contributions to this thread.

Sorry for your losses. Do you have a way to weigh the powder? If so, next time you could make it one gallon at a time. I think the dose is about 0.9 grams per gallon.

We did work out a conversion table a few days ago. It was just a convenience dumping the big batch in all the water containers for all the goats/swine areas. Sold off a lot of the swine and kind of had a surplus that time. The last big batch coincided with the stress relief to the swine being rounded up in our heat and the delivery kaos as well. So.... Anyway, thanks for the kind words..

There is a product Made by Durvet that has per gallon instructions on it. Perhaps this would be better for the poultry?
