Dr. Hernandez recently presented a Real Science Lecture series webinar on this topic. You can find the link at balchem.com/realscience.Dr. Hernandez begins with an overview of how she came to study calcium metabolism in the mammary gland. Over the past number of years, she has worked on research to manipulate what's happening in the mammary gland in the prepartum period to ensure adequate endocrine, nutritional, reproductive, and immunological status. (5:55)The panelists discuss how “normal” has changed when it comes to transition cow health. Dr. Overton reminds listeners that 25 years ago, 6-8% of fresh cows in a herd having clinical milk fever was pretty typical. Now, we accept none of that. Subclinical hypocalcemia was not on the radar then, and we thought we had calcium all figured out. Dr. Hernandez's work shows that this was not the case. She is pleased that a synergism of producers, veterinarians, and academics have been working together to understand the mechanisms of calcium metabolism to find solutions for individual farms based on their situation. (9:22)Dr. Hernandez then discusses various interventions used in the industry, including low-potassium diets, negative DCAD diets, and zeolite clays. The clays are new to the US, and it seems that they work primarily through a phosphorus reduction mechanism and are best limited to feeding 10-14 days pre-calving. (18:14)Dr. Overton asks Dr. Hernandez about a point in her webinar that cows are in negative calcium balance through 150-200 days in milk. She confirms that there are approximately 8.5 kilograms of calcium in the bones of a cow, but we don't know how much of that she loses each lactation. Her dream scenario would be a CT scanner large enough to fit a dairy cow in to evaluate how her bones change throughout lactation. This leads to a discussion of whether or not we should be including higher rates of calcium in dairy cow diets. Dr. Hernandez would like to learn more about what's happening with calcium absorption in the gut in real-time with endocrine status and stage of lactation, which is a challenging task. (23:17)Co-host, Dr. Jeff Elliott, asks if the reason multiparous cows are more prone to milk fever is because they're not as efficient at calcium resorption to the bone. Dr. Hernandez doesn't have a definitive answer, but it could be due to less effective gut absorption with age, or it may be related to the influence of estrogen on bone density. She also mentions it could be endocrine-controlled or even stem cell-related.  (28:59)Dr. Hernandez's hypothesis has always been that you have to have a calcium decrease to trigger the negative feedback loop involved in calcium metabolism. Her advice is to wait until 48 hours to take a blood sample to analyze calcium. This aligns well with epidemiological research on the veterinarian side regarding delayed, persistent, transient, and normal hypocalcemic animals. (33:04)Dr. Overton asks about a calcium-chelation study that Dr. Hernandez's group conducted and whether or not chelating calcium had an impact on colostrum production. It did not in that experiment. Dr. Hernandez was surprised at how much chelating agent was needed to overcome the draw of the mammary gland, but that further underlines how much of a priority lactation is in metabolism. (41:45)Scott asks both panelists their views on what the priority should be for research in this area. Dr. Hernandez's ideas include more research on how zeolite clays work biologically, finding out what's happening in the gut, mammary gland, and bone of a dairy cow at different stages of lactation. She emphasizes that research should be conducted at different stages rather than just extrapolating from one stage to another because lactation is incredibly dynamic. Dr. Overton seconded the idea of a better understanding of zeolite clays and their feeding recommendations, as well as research defining what happens to and where all the calcium is pulled from the bone during lactation. (45:32) In closing, Jeff, Tom, and Laura share their take-home thoughts. Jeff is excited to learn more about how zeolite clays work and if other products may come to the forefront to help in calcium metabolism management. Tom commends Laura on her work and how it has dovetailed so well with the epidemiological research from the veterinary side. Laura reminds listeners that the mammary gland is running the show and is thrilled that her work as a basic scientist is having an applied impact on the dairy industry.

Who Let The Dogma Out Of Transition Cow Management? Dr. Lance Baumgard, Iowa State University

Nutritionists are often blamed for transition cow problems like high NEFAs, clinical and subclinical ketosis, and subclinical hypocalcemia. Dr. Baumgard suggests these symptoms are a result of one of two situations: 1. These are highly productive, healthy, and profitable cows; or 2. The symptoms are the metabolic reflection of immune activation, likely stemming from metritis, mastitis, pneumonia, or GI tract inflammation. In the first scenario, the nutritionist deserves a raise; in the second, these are mostly management issues not caused by nutrition. (1:26) If listeners are interested in more detail on this topic, Dr. Baumgard suggests reading this 2021 review in the Journal of Dairy Science: “ Invited review: The influence of immune activation on transition cow health and performance—A critical evaluation of traditional dogmas.” Link: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022030221006329Dr. Baumgard highlights key concepts that underpin his thinking regarding transition cows: The best indicators of health are feed intake and milk yield, it's too easy to overthink the immune system, Mother Nature is rarely wrong, and inconsistent or non-reproducible data should create doubt. He goes on to review the incidence of metabolic disorders in early lactation and the energy balance dynamics of the transition period. (4:29)For decades, we've had the assumption that NEFAs and ketones are causing many of the health issues in transition cows. NEFAs, BHBs, and calcium have been correlated and associated with negative outcomes. However many other studies do not find these negative correlations or associations. Plasma NEFA is markedly increased following calving in almost all cows, yet only 15-20% get clinical ketosis. Dr. Baumgard suggests that it's presumptuous and reductionist of us to assume we can use one metabolite to diagnose the disease. Little mechanistic evidence exists to explain how these symptoms cause metabolic disease issues.  (10:29)If hyperketonemia, high NEFA, and subclinical hypocalcemia are causing disease, then therapeutically treating these disorders would improve overall cow health. NAHMS data does not back that up. Dr. Baumgard dissects the dogma of ketosis. In short, mobilization of adipose tissues and partial conversion of NEFA to ketones is essential for maximum milk yield. (18:35)High-producing cows are more hypoinsulinemic compared to low-producing cows, and transition period insulin concentrations are inversely related to whole lactation performance. Low insulin concentrations coupled with insulin resistance allow for fat mobilization. (29:02)Post-calving inflammation occurs in all cows. Sources include the mammary gland, the uterus,  and the gut. Severe inflammation precedes the clinical presentation of the disease. In one experiment, all cows exhibited some inflammation in very early lactation. However, cows that were culled or died before 100 days in milk were already severely inflamed during the first few days of lactation. Dr. Baumgard thinks inflammation is the simplest and most logical explanation for why some cows don't eat well before and after calving.  (31:13)While clinical hypocalcemia (milk fever) is pathological and requires immediate intervention, is subclinical hypocalcemia detrimental to health, productivity, and profitability? (36:33)Dr. Baumgard's paradigm-shifting concept suggests that increased NEFA and hyperketonemia are caused by immune activation-induced hypophagia, and hypocalcemia is a consequence of immune activation. He goes on to use a high-producing, a low-producing, and a sick cow to illustrate this concept. (43:26)In summary, the metabolic adjustments in minerals and energy during the transition period are not dysfunctional and don't need to be “fixed.” The real fix is to prevent immune activation in the first place to prevent the cow from going off feed. Profitable production is a consequence of wellness. (52:19)Dr. Baumgard takes a series of engaging questions from the webinar audience. Watch the full webinar at balchem.com/realscience.

In this episode of the PFC Podcast, Dennis speaks with Dr. Lee Cancio, a surgeon and director of the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research Burn Center. They discuss the complexities of managing white phosphorus burns, a serious concern in modern warfare. Dr. Cancio shares insights on the properties of white phosphorus, the mechanisms of injury, and the critical steps in initial care and management of such injuries. The conversation also covers the importance of fluid resuscitation, monitoring for complications like hypocalcemia, and the role of surgical interventions in treating burn patients. Dr. Cancio emphasizes the need for urgent care and the challenges faced in prolonged field care scenarios. Takeaways Dr. Cancio has extensive experience in treating burn injuries from combat. White phosphorus burns can cause both thermal and chemical injuries. Immediate immersion in water is crucial for managing phosphorus burns. Hypocalcemia is a significant risk in patients with phosphorus injuries. Surgical debridement is often necessary for effective treatment. Fluid resuscitation is essential, especially for deeper burns. Monitoring heart rate and EKG is critical for detecting complications. Whole blood can be used in burn shock if no other options are available. Ongoing assessment of wounds is necessary to prevent re-ignition. The relationship between burn size and mortality can be atypical in phosphorus injuries.

Why Cows Become Hypocalcemic and Steps to Reduce Impact with Dr. Goff- ISU

Real Science Exchange

This episode of the Real Science Exchange podcast was recorded during a webinar from Balchem's Real Science Lecture Series.Dr. Goff sees three main challenges for transition cows: negative energy and protein balance, immune suppression, and hypocalcemia. About half of all older cows experience hypocalcemia, and around 3% will experience milk fever. Cows develop hypocalcemia if they are unable to replace the calcium lost in milk from either their bone or diet. Compared to the day before calving, a cow needs around 32 extra grams of protein the day of calving to meet her increased requirements. (2:00)Dr. Goff reviews the pathways of calcium homeostasis and the actions of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Aged cows may have a harder time maintaining calcium homeostasis due to the loss of vitamin D receptors in the intestine with age and fewer sites of active bone resorption capable of responding quickly to PTH once they have finished growing. Blood pH plays a role in calcium homeostasis: when blood pH becomes alkaline, animals become less responsive to PTH. Dr. Goff reviews the impacts of high vs low DCAD diets and reviews the amount of time it takes for the kidney and bone to respond to PTH. (4:20)There are several strategies to reduce the risk of hypocalcemia. One is to reduce dietary potassium so the cow is not as alkaline. Using forages from fields that have not had manure applied to them is one way to accomplish this. In addition, warm-season grasses (corn) accumulate less potassium than cool-season grasses, and all grasses contain less potassium as they mature (straw). A second strategy is to add anions such as chloride or sulfate to the diet to acidify the blood to improve bone and kidney response to  PTH. Research has shown that sulfate salts acidify about 60% as well as chloride salts. The palatability of anionic diets has led to commercial products such as Soychlor. (13:06)Dr. Goff then discusses the over- and under-acidification of diets and gives his opinion on the appropriate range of urine pH for proper DCAD diet management, including a new proposed DCAD equation to account for alkalizing and acidifying components of the diet. He also gives some options for pH test strips to use for urine pH data collection. (18:30)Dr. Goff's lab has found that as prepartum urine pH increases, the calcium nadir decreases. The inflection point is right around pH 7.5, where above 7.5 indicates a higher risk of hypocalcemia. Data from other researchers suggests that urine pH lower than 6.0 may result in lower blood calcium, indicating an overall curvilinear response. Low urine pH (under 6.0) has also been associated with a higher incidence of left-displaced abomasum. (29:02)Moving on to other minerals, Dr. Goff discusses phosphate homeostasis and how that interacts with calcium in the close-up cow. Feeding too much phosphorus can decrease calcium absorption and feeding low phosphorus diets before calving can improve blood levels of calcium. He recommends less than 0.35% phosphorus in close-up cow diets. For magnesium,he recommends 0.4% prepartum and immediately postpartum to take advantage of passive absorption across the rumen wall. (31:08)Another strategy to reduce milk fever risk is to reduce dietary calcium prior to calving to stimulate parathyroid hormone release well before calving. A zeolite product that binds calcium is now available and may make this much easier to achieve. (42:59)In closing, Dr. Goff reminds the audience that some level of hypocalcemia post-calving is normal and in fact, is associated with higher milk production. The key is making sure that the cow's blood calcium levels can bounce back to normal by day two after calving.

Ricky and Justin discuss their research on the administration of calcium in hemorrhagic shock. They explain how they became interested in the topic and the gaps they identified in current medical knowledge. They discuss the importance of calcium in the clotting cascade and the potential role of citrate in contributing to hypocalcemia. They also explain the protocol for administering calcium in the field and the different forms of calcium that can be used. They discuss the risks of overcorrection of hypocalcemia and the need for further research on the topic. Overall, their research aims to improve patient outcomes and reduce mortality in hemorrhagic shock. Takeaways Calcium plays a crucial role in the clotting cascade and may be important in the treatment of hemorrhagic shock. Hypocalcemia is common in trauma patients and may contribute to increased mortality. The administration of calcium, along with blood products, can help prevent hypocalcemia and improve patient outcomes. The protocol for administering calcium in the field includes giving one gram upfront and one gram every four units of threshold blood. There is a risk of overcorrection of hypocalcemia, which can lead to hypercalcemia and increased mortality. Further research is needed to determine the optimal timing and dosage of calcium administration in hemorrhagic shock.

Neonates Deep Dive: Caring for the Dam and Hypocalcemia Dr. Marty Greer, DVM joins host Laura Reeves for a continuation of their ongoing conversation about neonates. The discussion today includes hypocalcemia and eclampsia, how much calcium to supplement and when. “For some bitches, you need to continue (calcium supplementation) until the puppies are weaned,” Greer said. “It depends on the size of the bitch and the size of the litter. The smaller the bitch and the bigger the litter, the more you need calcium. It tends to be... in small breed bitches that develop hypocalcemia, eclampsia, that that tends to be an issue. “We don't see it in Labs, Goldens, Rottweilers, you know, the big dogs, but in the little dogs, and you know, I mean little dogs usually under 10 or 15 pounds, dachshunds, terriers, some of those small breeds, we can see hypocalcemia. In those cases the bitch will start to run a low grade fever. The first symptoms are going to be that she starts walking kind of goose-stepping like real stiffly, associated with the calcium becoming too low and then her muscles developing this tetany. “When the puppies are growing at about that two to three week time period, when the puppies are really growing fast, is when the demands of the calcium become the greatest on those small breed bitches and they just don't have the ability to mobilize enough calcium from their bones, their vitamin D levels are trying, but they just don't have the ability to mobilize calcium quickly enough. “And this is why you don't want to give calcium prior to the time that the bitch goes into labor and has her puppies. If you give it during the entire pregnancy, then you tell her parathyroid gland, "You know what, you can just take a vacation. "You don't have to worry about this, just hang out." And then their calcium doesn't mobilize adequately. “So you want them on a normal amount of calcium in their regular dog food, and then once they whelp, then that's when you can start adding the additional calcium in gel form, in tablet form, in powder form to the diet along with the puppy food to make sure she gets adequate amounts of calcium. “The powder, the gel, those are all going to be fine and safe because the GI tract is going to only absorb and the body's only going to take in so much. So you're okay to be pretty aggressive. Now there's definitely some things that you have to be concerned about if you're giving (calcium) by injection. But if you're giving oral in the powder or the tablet form, you know the petcal or the revival or the whatever product you want to use, those are all absolutely fine to give. You have to really screw up to give too much. But it does make a big difference and you basically titrate it until you see the effect that you're looking for.

Vitamin D3 is a Fat-soluble vitamin that helps your body absorb calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin D, calcium, and phosphorus are important for building and keeping strong bones. Vitamin D prevents and treats bone disorders ( rickets, osteomalacia, osteoporosis ). It is made by the body when the skin is exposed to sunlight. It is also used with other medications to treat Hypocalcemia caused by certain disorders such as ( hypoparathyroidism and pseudohypoparathyroidism). Vitamin D drops are given to infants because breast milk usually has low Vitamin D levels.OsteomalaciaIt is a condition that affects bone development in children & causes bone pain, poor growth, and soft; it is called rickets.Osteoporosis:Is when your bone mineral density and bone mass decrease or when the quality or structure of the bone changes.How does vitamin D3 work?Vitamin D3 can enhance the absorption of calcium in the intestine. If the body doesn't have enough vitamin D3 to absorb calcium, the body will remove calcium from the bones. This makes bones fragile and increases the risk of osteoporosis.Vitamin D3 supplementation can protect your body from acute respiratory infections and pneumonia.Vitamin D3 supplementation can lower blood pressure and protect from stroke and heart attack.Vitamin D3 supplementation can protect women's bodies from weight loss in postmenopausal women.Read more here

Dr. Lance Baumgard and Dr. Jim Drackley join us to discuss cow management and the dogma that has developed over the years. Dr. Baumgard kicks off by explaining the dogma of the transition period - two metabolites reduce the animal's immune system and predispose them to health disorders. (5:38) Dr. Drackley continued by saying he was influenced by research that could show in a clinical case of ketosis, there is an underlying subclinical, perhaps inflammatory pressure, causing the problem. (20:39) Dr. Baumgard mentioned utilizing ketones comes at a metabolic disadvantage: a loss of energy. So what could cows be doing if they're able to increase their feed intake enough so they don't have to make ketones? (27:18) Dr. Drackley said the million-dollar question is if inflammation is the key, what do we do about it? How do we prevent it or treat it? (31:38) Dr. Baumgard explained his thought process is that if even healthy cows have some level of immune activation going on in the transition period, some of this subclinical hypocalcemia that's occurring in the transition period could be caused by immune activation. (43:50)Dr. Drackley said as we select for high-milk production, perhaps part of that is enhanced ability to use ketones. The idea of a tenant of high milk production is you've got the time of lower insulin and high growth hormone driving lactation. Those are all tied up with genetic selection.  (46:40) Dr. Baumgard wrapped up by saying from a producer or veterinarian perspective, it's easy to treat and get out, but what really needs to take place is a full examination; where did this immune activation come from?

A 23-year-old presents to the emergency department with progressive symptoms. It starts with tingling in the fingertips that lead to leg cramps that turn into feeling like she's turning into stone, frozen in one position with stabbing pain. And perhaps most troubling, she can't concentrate. In fact, the brain fog is so severe that she's afraid to drive.  Over the course of three days, her life has been turned upside down. She takes a taxi to the emergency department and is seen after waiting six hours. She provides a quick medical history, noting she recently had neck surgery for parathyroid overactivity — an important clue to her diagnosis. Parathyroid glands produce parathyroid hormone that regulates the blood calcium level, which maintains bone strength and helps muscles and nerves function. Calcium levels in the blood have to be kept at a very specific level. Just like in your physiology lectures: HYPERcalcemia and HYPOcalcemia. And calcium levels that are either too high or too low can be deadly. But in moving quickly in the emergency department, testing for serum calcium is overlooked. A patient with recent neck surgery has symptoms consistent with low blood calcium levels —  why not check her calcium? It's true that in a chaotic ER things can be overlooked. But a lot of time, calcium isn't ordered because it's not part of the regular "electrolyte” or “chemistry” panel — it has to be added specifically. With computer systems and the way test panels like these are built, they can shape the thinking of physicians, putting certain symptoms front of mind, while others might get neglected. Fortunately, a diagnosis was caught early enough for this patient that no long-term damage was done. But this case serves as a reminder that although rare diseases are rare, it doesn't mean as a healthcare professional, you'll never encounter them.

At birth, Jessica's physician noticed she had low levels of calcium. Genetic testing later confirmed that she had autosomal dominant hypocalcemia type 1 (ADH1) with a calcium receptor (CaSR) gene mutation. Jessica had complications due to ADH1 quite early in life. Before Jessica started kindergarten, she had painfully passed her first kidney stone. Fiercely protective and attentive, Jessica's mother quit her job to take care of Jessica full-time. She researched and provided Jessica with the latest cutting-edge treatments.  Despite the challenges of living with ADH1, Jessica has done well. She is a hopeful, new mother who is ready to do whatever it takes to take care of her child. She has a graduate degree and works to provide mental health care for her clients. Mary Scott Roberts, M.D., senior director of clinical development at BridgeBio Cardiorenal, joins to provide an overview of ADH1. She describes how low or elevated levels of calcium can cause muscle cramps, brain fog, fatigue, seizures, and other symptoms in individuals living with ADH1.

Hypocalcemia in goats, sometimes called milk fever, is one of the most misunderstood maladies in the goat world. This confusion stems from research done on cows, which does not apply to goats, but is still often referenced by many sources as if it does apply.Today's guest, Dr. Robert Van Saun of Pennsylvania State University, once again reminds us that goats are not little cows. We are talking about the causes of hypocalcemia in goats and how that compares to cows, as well as how to prevent it and the treatment.Dr. Van Saun talks about intravenous, sub-q, and oral treatment, and how quickly we should expect each one to work.We also discuss the relationship between hypocalcemia and pregnancy toxemia and how a diet to prevent one can also help to prevent the other.

What does IDM stand for? In the medical world, IDM is an acronym for Infant of Diabetic Mother. In this episode, we review the common complications associated with Infants of Diabetic Mothers. You may be surprised to hear that there are several complications beyond hypoglycemia or low blood sugars including but not limited to macrosomia, asphyxia, small for gestational age, respiratory distress, cardiac anomalies, neurological impairments, polycythemia, hyperbilirubinemia, hypocalcemia, and hypomagnesemia. Plus IDM infants are also at an increased risk for a preterm delivery and/or a cesarean section delivery due to their risk of complications later during the pregnancy or potentially larger size. Not only will we break down the potential complications the IDM infant is at risk for one-by-one, but we also discuss the pathophysiology behind each diagnosis as well as the typical treatment plan for each complication. If you are currently pregnant and have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes or had pre existing diabetes, this episode is for you! Or if you just had your baby and had diabetes with the pregnancy, this episode will provide you some great education.

Today's episode is dedicated to Tumor Lysis Syndrome management in the PICU. Join us as we discuss the patient case, symptoms, and treatment. We are delighted to be joined by Dr. Himalee Sabnis, Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Emory University School of Medicine. She is also a pediatric hematologist/oncologist and the Co-Director of the High-Risk Leukemia Team at the AFLAC Cancer & Blood Disorders Center at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.  Show Highlights: Our case, symptoms, and diagnosis: A three-year-old female with pre-B ALL presents on Day 2 of chemotherapy to the PICU. She is admitted with telemetry findings of arrhythmia, decreased urine output, and an EKG notable for peaked T waves. Her labs are notable for elevated WBC, hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia, and low ionized calcium. Tumor Lysis Syndrome is a life-threatening medical emergency stemming from rapid tumor cell destruction that overwhelms the usual metabolic and excretory pathways.  Why TLS is the most common pediatric oncologic emergency for pediatric cancer patients When the tumor cells die or lyse, what's inside those cells comes out into the blood Key metabolic abnormalities that affect organ function are too much potassium and phosphorus, low calcium, and uric acid buildup. Those metabolic abnormalities can result in cardiac arrhythmia and kidney failure. Certain patient populations have an increased risk for TLS: Hematological cancers have a higher risk than solid tumors Patients with fast-growing tumors, like lymphoma and leukemia, are at high risk Key pathophysiologic principles that drive TLS: The imbalance of electrolytes can impact heart function TLS is characterized by hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia, hypocalcemia, and uric acid, which is a by-product of DNA breakdown If untreated, the uric acid can lead to acute kidney injury and renal failure Electrolyte and metabolic disturbances can progress to renal insufficiency, cardiac arrhythmias, seizures, and death TLS releases cytokines that can cause a systemic inflammatory response and multi-organ failure Other lab markers in patients with TLS include uric acid, LDH, CBC, DIC panel, and daily blood gas (these are typically trended every 4-6 hours). Key factors in TLS management are to understand the risk and know your resources. Steps taken would be continuous cardiac monitoring, uric acid control, administering Allopurinol to combat uric acid formation, and managing electrolyte disturbances in conjunction with an intensivist. Chemotherapy would not be delayed due to TLS because the patient's condition won't improve until the cancer is treated. How the complications of TLS are treated: Hyperphosphatemia should be treated by using oral phosphate binders such as aluminum hydroxide. Hypocalcemia does not require therapy unless cardiac function is affected. How renal replacement therapy might be required and indications are similar to other forms of acute kidney injury. Besides Allopurinol being given at the initiation of chemotherapy, patients at high risk for TLS may receive low-intensity initial therapy to prevent rapid cell lysis. Takeaway clinical pearls regarding TLS: Know what you're dealing with because every cancer is different. Fluid management is important and will vary from patient to patient. Be proactive in monitoring. Intervene early and quickly.

Although veterinarians may not be administering individual treatment to clinical, recumbent milk fever cases, there are many opportunities for us to be involved with preventing, monitoring, and developing protocols for treatment of hypocalcemia. In this episode, AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich is joined by Dr. Jess McArt, a clinician and researcher from Cornell University. Dr. McArt discusses practical tips for diagnosing and treating cases of clinical hypocalcemia, as well as providing suggestions for veterinary involvement in prevention and monitoring of this disease. We also discuss the effects of subclinical hypocalcemia, which can be diagnosed in 30-50% of cows on some dairy farms, even with a clinical incidence rate of well under 5%. Dr. McArt also discusses some of the research on hypocalcemia, including a recent project that demonstrated blood samples taken pre-treatment can sit in cold storage for an extended period without adversely affecting accuracy of results for blood calcium levels. Dr. McArt also discusses future research, including the effects of transient, persistent, or delayed subclinical hypocalcemia in early lactation cows. AABP members can listen to Dr. McArt’s research summary presentations on calcium by going to the BCI CE portal and searching under the Research Summaries or the Annual Conference Proceedings and searching for McArt.

Association of transient, persistent, or delayed subclinical hypocalcemia with early lactation disease, removal, and milk yield in Holstein cows Find the Big 3 Infographic at otovets.com/cuttingedge Link: https://www.journalofdairyscience.org/article/S0022-0302(19)30971-3/fulltext See the referenced research graphs by joining OTO at otovets.com/facebook Big Take Away #1: The subclinical hypocalcemic (SCH) state of the post-paturm cow is better described by four states; normal calcemic, transient, persistent and delayed. Each state represents a different metabolic response to the demands of lactation and an increase or decrease in disease and removal incidence as well as production outcome. Big Take Away #2: Primiparous dams undergoing a persistent SCH state were 4x more likely to undergo a health or removal event vs normal calcemic while multiparous dams were almost 2x more likely. Similarly, primiparous dams undergoing a delayed SCH state were 3x more likely to undergo a health or removal event vs normal calcemic dams while multiparous dams were again 2x more likely. Big Take Away #3: The transient SCH state is associated with 5.5 more lbs per day of milk production in first lactation animals and 12.1 more lbs per day of milk production in second and greater animals. This state represents a cow that is metabolically well adapted and is experiencing a natural calcium suppression due to production demands that the body responds too. Ultimate Message: This study expands our understanding of SCH and it’s different states. By understanding that there is a subpopulation of cows that naturally undergo this state but can still produce above their peers we are better able to create targeted therapies and better identify cows that could be potential problems down the road. Association of transient, persistent, or delayed subclinical hypocalcemia with early lactation disease, removal, and milk yield in Holstein cows Published by J. A. A. Mc Art, R. C. Neves Location: New York, researchers form Cornell and Purdue Objective: Our objective was to assess the association of early postpartum Ca status group, classified as normocalcemia (NC), transient SCH (tSCH), persistent SCH (pSCH), or delayed SCH (dSCH), with early lactation disease diagnosis, culling, and milk yield. A secondary objective was to assess changes in blood BHB and plasma fatty acid concentrations in the first 10 DIM between cows in different early postpartum Ca status groups.

New research indicates that even within cows that are diagnosed as having subclinical hypocalcemia, cows may recover to normal at different rates. Cows that are able to recover quickly, may be ones that we should not intervene with, however the challenge is being able to identify which ones truly need treatment.
