Characterized by dangerously low blood calcium levels in cows, subclinical hypocalcemia and its symptoms are not so apparent; however, the disease is still a real threat to herds, sparking a drastic reduction in dairy farm production. An animal health company and a professor who specializes in subclinical hypocalcemia are partnering together to equip dairy producers, veterinarians and nutritionists with the tools they need to mitigate the effects of hypocalcemia in cows with two upcoming dairy meetings in Hilmar. “Hilmar has a terrific concentration of very good dairy producers and very good veterinary clinics to work with,” said Garret Oetzel, professor at the School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Wisconsin, who is partnering with Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc. to educate producers and veterinarians during the Hilmar meetings.
