Q
Why should we not feed dry cows the lactating cow ration?
A
Would cause PTH to increase calcium from body when there Is a lot of calcium in the diet. Sounds counterintuitive but that’s that way it is. So too much calcium in diet before they calf= hypocalcemia)
Concurrent hypomagnesemia can cause hypocalcemia
2
Q
Tx for hypocalcemia
A
NOTTTT calcium –> too much calcium will end up downregulating the uptake of calcium
*****mild systemic acidosis induced by feeding anionic salts in later prepartum (right before calf is born) improved ability of the cow to use calcium PP
Prevent hypocalcemia with feeding anionic salts in dry period, do not limit Ca but also do not overload with Ca
