    Compensated Metabolic Acidosis

    Hypocalcemia affects more than 50% of all dairy cows. Cows with hypocalcemia can potentially produce less milk and are at greater risk of developing negative health outcomes. The good news is that proper nutrition and management within the prepartum period can significantly reduce the negative impacts that hypocalcemia has on the cow – and the negative impact hypocalcemia has on dairy farm profitability. This podcast episode will dive deeper into the various strategies around compensated metabolic acidosis – and we’re going to break it all down for you.
