CALCIUM REQUIREMENT IN RELATION TO MILK FEVER FOR HIGH YIELDING DAIRY COWS: A REVIEW
The purpose of this paper is to review the predisposing factors and advances in controlling principles of milk fever in high yielding dairy cows. Dietary imbalances in dairy cows can be one of fundamental cause of numerous and complicated types of health problems that are usually categorized as meta...
