Abstract
THE condition known as milk fever is almost essentially a disease of highly productive adult milking cows at the time of calving.
It is characterised by a low blood calcium level causing a sudden general depression of consciousness of the cow and muscular paralysis.
Without treatment most cases result in the death of the cow.
