Description
Grass tetany, recognized as a complicated magnesium deficiency, usually makes its appearance when cows are changed from the normal winter feeds to a new growth of grass in the early spring. In the Northern Great Plains, the critical period generally is late April and early May. A similar condition called "wheat pasture poisoning" occurs in cattle grazing winter wheat, particularly in the southern portion of the Great Plains. The extent to which these two diseases share common causes has not been determined.
