New Research & Practical Strategies to Mitigate Fresh Cow Hypocalcemia

Live Webinar: Tuesdsay, December 9, 3 - 4 pm

This session will review current nutritional strategies available to address fresh cow hypocalcemia challenges with a special emphasis on the role of dietary phosphorus in prefresh diets. There's a strong body of scientific evidence and on-farm responses confirming that lowering/restricting prefresh dietary phosphorus has a positive effect on maintaining fresh cow blood calcium levels. We'll discuss dietary phosphorus research and recommendations for both 1-group dry cow and negative DCAD diets along with the emerging science supporting the phosphorus binding strategy.
