“…Incidence of MF varies greatly among breeds. The incidence in the Jersey breed has been reported to be 12.4 to 30% and in the Friesian breed from 2.1 to 3.9% (Littledike, 1974). Individual herds may have 50 to 80% of the cows affected each year, depending on breed, age and diet.…”

Known and possible interactions between Ca, P, Mg, parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcitonin (CT), vitamin D and its metabolites, and interactions of each of these with other factors plus complexities and possible variations between and within domestic animal species, such as age, sex, physiologic state (i.e., pregnancy, lactation and growth) and diet, make Ca, P and Mg metabolism extremely dynamic and complex. Many advances have been made in understanding these interactions and how each of these factors is controlled, secreted or metabolized within the body. Some interactions among these factors are discussed in detail, mostly with a view to understanding mechanisms by which homeostasis of Ca, P and Mg is maintained. Also, three of the major diseases of mineral metabolism of cattle (milk fever, grass tetany and wheat pasture poisoning) provide excellent models to study the complex soil, plant and animal interrelationships among Ca, P, Mg and the factors that influence and control the ultimate utilization of these minerals in animals. These diseases are used to illustrate some of the interactions among many of the factors that influence Ca, Mg and P metabolism in domestic animals.

“…States 10.5 million dollars (Littledike, 1974); current costs would exceed 20 to 30 million dollars per year (Bhattacharyya and DeLuca, 1973). Total economic losses from this disorder are difficult to determine because of many indirect costs associated with this disorder.…”

“…Parturient paresis incidence is influenced by the age and breed of dairy cows. Jersey cows have two to five times greater incidence of par turient paresis than cows of other breeds (Hibbs et al, 1946a;Littledike, 1974;. As the dairy cow becomes older, incidence of parturient paresis increases (Dyrendahl et al, 1970;Littledike, 1974;.…”

As the dairy cow becomes older, incidence of parturient paresis increases (Dyrendahl et al, 1970;Littledike, 1974;. Parturient paresis is uncommon before the third parturition, with incidence of parturient paresis greatest at the fifth to sixth parturition (Dyrendahl et al, 1970;Littledike, 1974;.…”

Parturient paresis has been known by a number of names including milk fever, parturient hypocalcemia, parturient apoplexy, eclampsia, and paresis peurperalis (Littledike, 1974).…”
