Disorder of Water and Electrolyte Balance in Cattle
Main Article Content
Abstract
Abstract
Ruminants' water needs depend on several factors. Water and electrolyte imbalances can disrupt production and, reproductive performance as well as overall health. Fluid replacement is a key step in the treatment of diseases such as calf diarrhea. This review work aimed to describe in more detail and indicate the importance of water and electrolyte imbalance disorders in cattle, especially calves, as the most sensitive category of cattle.
