prevent: feed high Phosphorus, low calcium 14 days before parturition, vitamin D intake 1 wk before birth, avoid obesity.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Etc: New strategies are addressing the pH balance, by reducing potassium which decreases blood pH, increasing kidney, and bone re-absorption of calcium. Watch calcium/phosphorus levels in dry periods.
