Calves received isotonic saline solution ISS HSS or D40 3 calves group and were monitored of blood pressure and cardiac output CO for 180 min. HSS and D40 infusions induced a significant increase in relative plasma volume reaching and respectively at the end of fluid infusion. In the HSS group CO cardiac index CI and stroke volume SV remained constant at low levels after 90 minutes despite the maximal values of CO CI and SV at the end of infusion reaching l min p ml min kg p and l beat at t 10 min p respectively. In contrast CI and SV in the D40 group showed significant increases to l min and ml min kg respectively at the end of fluid infusion. And those values remained constant at higher levels than those of the before infusions values throughout the experimental periods. Positive effects for hemodynamic alternations of D40 in calf practice were milder and longer than those of HSS. Therefore the D40 infusion should be explored as a possible treatment for dehydrated calves since rapid infusion of D40 may be safe and more beneficial for rehydrating more than HSS treatment.
