Overview of Milk Fever and Subclinical Hypocalcemia in Daily Cows

Abstract

Milk fever and subclinical hypocalcaemia are the most important mineral metabolic disorders of dairy cows in transition period. Cows will experience the lactation during transition period while their minerals may be out of balance, which results in milk fever and subclinical hypocalcemia. As for cows' production diseases, milk fever is related with many other diseases, it can serve as a susceptible factor causing the cascade of diseases in transition cows. This research recapitulated the physiological and clinical consequences which was caused by the milk fever and subclinical hypocalcemia, and provided a theoretical basis for clinical prevention and treatment of milk fever and subclinical hypocalcemia.
