[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1087734, member: 12607"] twr, Saw my first case of grass tetany (hypomagnesemia) of the year, last Monday. Second cow in this herd to die in just a few days' time. Analysis of ocular fluid revealed low Mg level. Other than lots of subcutaneous hemorrhage/edema from where she'd been down convulsing, really nothing else abnormal about her. Cows being fed wheat hay - which, even in a good year, might be lower in Mg content than a typical grass hay. But, as cool and wet as last spring and summer were, some of the grass hays being fed may also be lower in Mg content than normal. Time to switch over to a high-Mg mineral. [/QUOTE]
