Abstract
The invention concerns a rehydration fluid composition, useful in particular for feeding young animals no longer able to digest milk, comprising lactose or glucose or a product based on lactose or glucose: a mineral supplement ensuring restoration of digestive losses. The invention is characterised in that the composition further comprises an efficient quantity of soluble vegetable proteins and vegetable lipids ensuring suitable appropriate energy intake.
Claims20
Energy-supplying rehydrating composition, which can be used in particular for feeding young animals no longer able to digest milk, comprising:
- lactose or glucose, or a lactose-based or glucose-based product,
- a mineral supplement ensuring restoration of the digestive losses,
- an effective amount of soluble plant proteins and of plant lipids which ensure suitable energy supply,
- characterized in that the proportion of energy sources is as follows:
- 50 to 60% carbohydrates, 10 to 20% proteins, 25 to 35% lipids.
Rehydrating composition according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the lactose content is between 40 and 55 g/l, in particular substantially identical to that of milk (approximately 50 g/l).
Rehydrating composition according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that it comprises per liter, by weight:
- lactose 40 to 55 g hydrolyzed plant proteins, in 8 to 14 g particular hydrolyzed soybean and gluten proteins palm and/or copra oil 8 to 12 g soybean lecithin 0.6 to 1.2 g
- with the mineral supplement being supplied by one or more salts chosen from the group consisting of:
- sodium chloride 2 to 4 g sodium bicarbonate 0 to 4 g sodium propionate and/or 0 to 4 g acetate potassium chloride 1 to 1.5 g potassium hydrogen phosphate 0.7 to 1.2 g calcium carbonate 0.5 to 1 g magnesium chloride, 6H2O 0.1 to 0.6 g citric acid 1 to 5 g
- and at a pH close to the stomach of the young animal.
