[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 702760, member: 5106"] Edema is very common in first calve rs and heavy milkers. There have been a few studies linking edema to high salt intake, I think they were inconclusive, but I have changed my mineral program for my heifers and they are started on high quality minerals only with 0 salt at least 2-3 weeks before their due date and it seems to make a little difference ,with edema and an easy delivery. There was a post about it last year or so so I thought I would give it a try, I will let you know in a few months if it really works or was just a coincidence.. ;-) [/QUOTE]
