  • Title: Ionized calcium versus total calcium in dairy cows.
    Author: Dauth J, Dreyer MJ, de Coning JP.
    Journal: J S Afr Vet Assoc; 1984 Jun; 55(2):71-2. PubMed ID: 6567667.
    Abstract:
    Ionized and total calcium levels were determined in 29 Friesian and 5 Drakensberger cows. One Friesian cow had parturient paresis and specimens were taken before and after treatment. It is suggested that due to the easy reliable way in which ionized calcium levels can now be determined this investigation should replace total calcium estimations in dairy cows presenting with parturient paresis. Ionized calcium levels serve as a valuable diagnostic aid but are also important to assess the effectivity of treatment for this condition.
