[QUOTE="Vicky the vet, post: 207069, member: 1026"] Eating the placenta can cause a major indigestion called "placenta burger" (guess that's just the prof's name for it) which can cause the cow to go off feed, and in rare cases, kill her. Eating it is NOT a source of nutrients which are required or even desired, but an instinct to hide the birth of the calf which is prey. [/QUOTE]
