I've had 4 cows in the past ten days with milk fever like symptoms. They are all 200+ days in milk.
The current diet is approx
4kg DM maize silage
3kg cake
7 kg DM grazed grass
We're still doing building work so only have feed space for 200 out of 500. Is maize low enough in Ca that if some were eating way more than their fair share of maize it could induce milk fever like symptoms?
They are supplemented with mag and trace elements but no Ca or phos.
