[QUOTE="IluvABbeef, post: 697203, member: 3739"] LOL here we go again. Milk fever, unlike your answer, happens when the cow has relied too heavily on the calcium from her diet and when she is in need of calcium during birth, cannot sequester it from her bones. It's because she has been fed too much calcium the last three weeks of trimester that she goes down like that. Why do dairy farmers have the diet reduced in calcium the last trimester? To guard against milk fever AND so that the cow is able to generate calcium from her bones and other sources in her body. BTW, FYI, milk fever is more common in DAIRY cows, NOT beef cattle. It's the high calcium in the feeds that the dairy cows have more problems with milk fever than beef cows that they are more apt to milk fever than beef cows. Do some proper research, man. So I am not in the weeds here, I think you are. PH levels are pretty much what I was talking about, if you read between the lines. You just refraised what I just mentioned, not corrected me. [/QUOTE]
