Intravenous electrolyte solution containing 84 mEq/L of lactate corrects metabolic acidosis in goats

•An electrolyte solution containing 84mEq/L of lactate (L84) was tested in acidotic goats.•ARLA was induced, leading to moderate metabolic acidosis and dehydration.•L84 solution infused in a volume equivalent to 10 % of b.w. was able to correct dehydration.•L84 solution was effective in correcting moderate metabolic acidosis in goats.
