Final answer:

A dehydrated 1300 Holstein should get roughly 13 gallons of oral fluids.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many gallons of oral fluids a dehydrated Holstein should get, you need to calculate 8% of its body weight and convert it into gallons. Here's the calculation:

1. Calculate 8% of 1300 pounds:
8% * 1300 pounds = 104 pounds

2. Convert pounds to ounces (1 pound = 16 ounces):
104 pounds * 16 ounces = 1664 ounces

3. Convert ounces to gallons (1 gallon = 128 ounces):
1664 ounces / 128 ounces = 13 gallons (rounded to the nearest whole number)

So, a 1300 Holstein that is 8% dehydrated should get roughly 13 gallons of oral fluids.
