Cofavit C Oral Powder: Treatment for 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 animals. Unfortunately, these species cannot always synthesize this vitamin in sufficient quantities, which can lead to severe deficiencies and affect their overall health as well as their zootechnical performance.

Vitamin C deficiencies can result in general weakness, a weakened immune system, loss of appetite, slowed growth, and increased susceptibility to infections. During periods of environmental stress or in the event of infectious diseases, animals’ bodies may experience a significant increase in their demand for vitamin C. Cofavit C is a dietary supplement designed to meet these increased needs and ensure optimal metabolism.

In intensive livestock farming, animals are often subjected to significant stressors: frequent handling, transport, dietary changes, extreme heat, infections, and prolonged veterinary treatments. All of these factors can disrupt their physiological balance, leading to vitamin C deficiencies and reducing their ability to fight off pathogens.

Administering Cofavit C helps restore optimal levels of ascorbic acid in the body, thereby helping to strengthen the immune system, reduce the impact of periods of stress, and speed up recovery following an infectious episode or a period of excessive fatigue.

In addition,the ascorbic acid contained in Cofavit C plays an essential role iniron absorption, hemoglobin production, and the formation of connective tissues. Its effect on cellular metabolism is crucial for optimizing growth, maintaining good body condition, and ensuring high zootechnical performance.

Finally, this supplement is particularly recommended for animals during growth phases, while convalescing, or when exposed to demanding farming conditions. It provides an effective and safe solution for ensuring high-performing and sustainable agricultural production.

As a complement, we recommend using LPGVita C Effect for Horses oral powder, a multi-species nutritional supplement that provides effective supplementation in cases of nutritional deficiencies, critical periods, or prolonged stress.

How should this treatment be used for vitamin C deficiencies?

The dosage and route of administration for Cofavit C vary depending on the species being treated. Here are the veterinary laboratory’s recommendations:

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

This powder for oral solution is intended to be diluted in milk, a liquid feed, or drinking water before use. It must never be administered undiluted.
