Fluid therapy for mature cattle differs from that for calves because the common conditions that result in dehydration and the metabolic derangements that accompany these conditions are different. The veterinarian needs to know which problem exists, what to administer to correct the problem, in what quantity, by what route, and at what rate. Mature cattle more frequently suffer from alkalosis; therefore, acidifying solutions containing K(+) and Cl(-) in concentrations greater than that of plasma are frequently indicated. The rumen provides a large-capacity reservoir into which oral rehydration solutions may be administered, which can save time and money.
成熟牛的液体疗法与小牛不同，因为导致脱水和伴随这些情况的代谢紊乱的常见情况不同。兽医需要知道存在什么问题，用什么来纠正问题，用多少，通过什么途径，以及以什么速度。成熟牛更常患有碱中毒；因此，通常需要使用含有 K(+)和 Cl(-)且浓度高于血浆的酸化溶液。瘤胃提供了一个大容量的储液器，可以给其中注入口服补液溶液，这可以节省时间和金钱。
