herds this time of the year.
Grass tetany is a metabolic distur-
bance resulting from low blood
magnesium in the animal, explains
Kirby Vanover, county agent with
the Texas Agricultural Extension
Service, The Texas A&M Univer-
sity System.
The problem occurs frequently in
adult cows, especially those nursing
calves and grazing lush pastures.
However, it can occur in cattle of
any age or condition and often
develops in those grazing wheat or
other cereal crops. Cattle in poor
condition and exposed to cold or
cool, wet, cloudy weather also are
subject to grass tetany.
Grass tetany appears more rapid-
ly in lactating animals and more
slowly in poorly nourished cattle,
says Vanover. It results mainly
from low levels of magnesium and
high levels of potassium and nitro-
gen in grass and small grain
pastures. Thus magnesium absorp-
tion is limited and the blood serum
magnesium level drops.
In serious cases of grass tetany,
animals start to tremble, stagger or
run in a frenzied manner. Those that
fall and show convulsions usually die
rapidly. Animals less affected may
be nervous, walk with a stiff gait,
urinate frequently, and be sensitive
to touch and sound. This may
continue for several days before
progressing to the convulsive stage
leading to death.
Vanover recommends calling a
veterinarian as soon as possible
once symptoms develop since use of
intravenous magnesium and calcium
compounds can save animals.
Preventive measures can help
avoid cattle losses from grass te-
tany. Feeding a free-choice mineral
of 6 to 8 percent magnesium or a
mix of 25 pounds each of trace
mineralized mixing salt, cottonseed
meal, dicalcium phosphate and ma-
gnesium oxide has been effective in
preventing grass tetany. Other
mixes also are available, but the key
is for each animal to get at least 1 to
2 ounces of magnesium daily.
Since magnesium oxide is unpala-
table, Van/'ver suggests feed mix-
tures that increase palatability.
Start lactating or advanced preg-
nancy cows (those most susceptible
to grass tetany) on a feeding
program 90 days before grass
tetany is normally observed.
Once the problem appears, crash
feeding programs usually are not
adequate to prevent losses. Feeds
that supply energy, such as corn or
milo, as well as legume hay can help
prevent borderline grass tetany
cases.
