Recommendations for electrolyte, carbohydrate, buffering capacity, and osmolality of oral electrolyte replacement fluids used to treat enteritis and diarrhea in neonatal ruminants

Component	Recommendation
Na⁺ concentration	90–130 mEq/L
K⁺ concentration	10–30 mEq/L
Cl⁻ concentration	40–80 mEq/L
Glucose + glycine concentration	100–280 mM/L
Buffering capacity (SID = [Na⁺] + [K⁺] – [Cl⁻])	50–80 mEq/L
[Glucose + glycine]/[Na] ratio	1:1–3:1
Total osmolality	400–600

Abbreviation: SID, strong ion difference, measured.
