SELEKT GLYCEROL PLUS contains two sources of energy to utilize two different glucogenic pathways - propylene glycol gives a sustained release of energy, AND glycerol, which has a similar calorific value to propylene glycol but is much less toxic, provides a rapid release of energy. SELEKT GLYCEROL PLUS contains yeast, the constituents of which stimulate growth of bacteria that utilize lactate and digest cellulose. A single one litre dose of SELEKT GLYCEROL PLUS given in 10 litres of water is usually sufficient for a quick and sustained effect on blood glucose concentration. It is important to give SELEKT GLYCEROL PLUS in water because it has been shown that glycerol is a glucogenic only when given in water. Administering water is also beneficial as a ketotic cow will be dehydrated.
