  • Title: Use of 1alpha-OH cholecalciferol in preventing post parturient hypocalcaemia and its potential value for the prevention of milk fever in dairy cows.

    Journal: Vet Rec; 1976 Oct 16; 99(16):310-2. PubMed ID: 982774.
    Abstract:
    Cows which received 250 mug 1alpha-hydroxy cholecalciferol (1alpha-OH D3) intramuscularly within two hours after calving suffered significantly less post-parturinet hypocalcaemia and hypophosphataemia than control cows. There was a small depression in plasma magnesium concentrations in the treated cows. 1alpha-OH D3 shows potential for the prevention or treatment of milk fever.
