[QUOTE="mitch2, post: 449959, member: 6621"] Friend has a dairy and majority are holsteins, small dairy of approx 15 milking. He usually has 4 to 5 cases of Milk fever a year. I am not a dairy person, but is this normal? I am just curious here...and what % is considered normal occurrence? Ok, now he switched feed supplements, which was exact in protein, minerals, etc as old supplement. But since the switch, almost every cow is coming down with milk fever. Does anyone have ideas? Is he missing something? And what are the options for treatment? He always has the vet out, which gives XXX? in the vein, and another sub-q. He has no problem giving the sub-q, but he has seen even a vet, kill a cow with the IV, so he wants no part of it. Sorry, if I have left some holes, but I and him are very curious. I have no personal experience, but I told him about this site, and would let him know of any and all info to help him out. I appreciate, as I always do, everyones experience/opinion. Thanks!
