Various application • Whey is a good source of electrolytes including sodium and potassium, which are required during

diarrhoea therapy. Minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus are present in solution and also partly bound to proteins. Zinc is present in trace amounts (Zadow, 1992). Lactose also promotes absorption of Mg and Zinc ions, which even in trace amount helps in better diarrhoeal management (Ziegler and Fomon, 1983). http://www.dairyscience.info/index.php/probiotics/110-whey-probiotics.html?showall=1

• • Whey has been used in animals for the treatment of diarrhoea In 1983, Shilovskya used enriched

whey for feeding pigs and poultry and observed a positive effect in terms of weight gain and reduction in incidences of diarrhoea. Remsey and Demigne in 1985 studied the use of supplemented whey with electrolytes and glucose for treatment of diarrhoea in calves. They found that oral rehydration solution based on whey was effective in controlling diarrhoea in calves.

• Navetal et al. (1987) reported the use of supplemented whey for treating chalky diarrhoea of calves. They supplemented whey with sodium propionate, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, and coconut oil. The whey treatment was effective in combating the diarrhoea and in improving the nutrition of the calf. Navetal et al. (1988) used two proprietary rehydrating solutions based on milk whey for the treatment of calf diarrhoea and found that both were equally effective in the treatment of diarrhoea caused by E.coli and rotavirus in calves.
