“…Elevated levels of dietary potassium (K) (Kunkel, Burns and Camp, 1953;Ward, 1966a) and nitrogen (Redmond, 1950;Metson et al, 1966) have lowered plasma magnesium (Mg). Studies by Burt and Thomas (1961), Burau and Stout (1965) and Stout, Brownell and Burau (1967) have suggested a possible role of plant organic acids (namely citric and trans-aconitic) in the development of the tetany syndrome. An experimental tetany resembling grass tetany has been induced by Bohman et al (1969) by the oral administration of trans-aconitic or citric acid plus potassium chloride (KC1).…”

“…Also, the dietary intake of 1% citric acid, as sodium citrate, reduced the Mg concentration in the blood serum of ruminants (Burt and Thomas, 1961). Bohman et al (1969) induced tetany in cows by giving citric or trans-aconitic acid and KC1 as an oral drench.…”

“…Dietary organic acids consistently depressed plasma Mg but had no effect on plasma Ca levels. Burt and Thomas (1961) measured significant decreases in blood Mg levels in heifers receiving diets containing 1% citric acid. Camp et al (1968) found that oral doses of potassium trans-aconitate depressed blood serum Mg levels in sheep, but transaconitic acid did not.…”

Hypomagnesemia is a metabolic disorder of ruminants not receiving adequate utilizable magnesium, either because of low Mg concentration in the forage or because of complicating factors affecting Mg availability. The disorder is more likely to affect cattle than sheep or goats and generally affects older, lactating animals. Magnesium deficiency may result in decreased milk or beef production (Grunes & Mayland, 1975; Grunes et al., 1970). An intensified hypomagnesemia, known as grass tetany, has caused a large number of cattle deaths in the temperate regions of the United States and other countries, resulting in losses of up to 3% in dairy or beef herds in a bad year (Baker & Gould, 1976; Grunes et al., 1970; Mansfield et al., 1975; Molloy, 1971). In some individual herds in some years losses have been even higher. Reid et al. (1978a) estimated annual losses in the United States at 1 to 2% of mature grazing animals. The severity of the problem is quite sporadic. Many factors affect Mg uptake by plants and its subsequent availability to animals. It is our objective to discuss the soil, climate, and plant factors that may ultimately affect Mg intake and availability to ruminants.
