In dairy cows, the transition from gestation to lactation results in a sudden, large demand for calcium. In this episode, our experts review a study conducted at the University of Wisconsin, where a fully acidogenic prepartum diet was fed with varying levels of dietary calcium prior to an ETGA challenge to induce hypocalcemia. Listen to learn which strategy prepared cows better for a hypocalcemic challenge.
