[QUOTE="mitch2, post: 450958, member: 6621"] OK, I am dumb here, either I am reading things incorrectly, or I totally am unable to comprehend this subject. In the drying off period, especially the last couple/three weeks before calving protocol should be: A) Decrease specific minerals such as calcium, salt and potassium and increase magnesium. B) Increase specific minerals such as calcium salt and potassium and decrease magnesium. Is either A or B correct? And the reason for either A or B is because at birth you WANT to draw calcium from the bones and not from the blood? Because if the animal draws the calcium from the blood this is what causes the milk fever.... Michele [/QUOTE]
