  • Title: Concentrations of sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and chlorine in the muscle cells of downer cows and cows with parturient paresis.
    Author: Björkman C, Jönsson G, Wroblewski R.
    Journal: Res Vet Sci; 1994 Jul; 57(1):53-7. PubMed ID: 7973093.
    Abstract:
    The concentrations of sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, sulphur and chlorine, in the skeletal muscle fibres of cows with parturient paresis, downer cows, normally calving cows and unmated heifers were determined by means of an X-ray microanalysis technique. The most consistent finding was an increase in the concentration of chlorine in the muscle samples from the downer cows. There were no other significant differences between the concentrations of these elements in samples from the different groups of cows, but the calcium concentration was higher in the muscle samples collected one month after parturition than in the samples collected close to parturition.
