The best metabolic disease prevention
is good nutrition and targeting milk fever prone animals with Calol, which
is far more economical than whole herd starter drenching.
For milk fever treatment use Calol as
long as the cow has a swallow reflex. If the cow cannot swallow then intravenous
calcium is indicated followed by Calol, once she can swallow, for relapse
prevention.
Now available, without consultation,
from your vet is the safe but powerful calcium injection Calsafe, in compact
100 ml vials.
Calsafe is a solution containing, in
each 100mL, 4.6g calcium and 0.8g magnesium (in the form of a complex
of gluconic and boric acid), and 0.6g phosphorylethanolamine.
Thus it is a calcium magnesium complex
using citric acid, gluconic acid and boric acid. The low boric acid concentration
and release of calcium and magnesium in a constant proportion ensure excellent
compatibility.
The absence of free boric acid means
that the potential adverse effects on the cardiovascular system are minimised.
In a healthy cow the ratio of calcium
to magnesium is 5.6:1, while in milk fever it is 2:1. The coma symptoms
of milk fever are due to the relatively high magnesium level.
