BOWMANVILLE When Buying or Selling Cal WILF HAWKE Your Orono Area Representative 983-5274 Mýembiler of Oshawa and District Real Estate Board çle,"the staggers", is a faryrare condition that can affect dairy and beef cattie shortly after they are first turned on to spring pastures. "This, condition, which de- velops ver.y fapidly after the initial symptoms appear, oc- curs when ivestock are un- able to maintain normal magnesium blood levels", says, H.C. Lang, Souls, and crops Specialist, 0O'ntario Min- istry of Agriculture and Food. Magnesium deficiencies can result when cattle are on either hay or grass pasture. A cool, wet spring, promnoting lush growth, favors the condi- tion. Cattle that have just calved, or are about to calve, should be watched panticular- ly closeiy, as they need more than normal quantities of magnesium in their diets to maintain good health. Animals that seem nervous and uncoordinated, or walk with a stiff-legged gait, may be showing eanly symptoms of grass tetany. These symptoms are followed by leg, and tait muscle spasms, and finally by convulsions and collapse. Farmers should contact a veterinarian immediately after the eanly symptoms of grass tetany are obser*ed, as magnesium in the blood can drop to dangerously 10w levels within 24 to 48 hours after animals have been on mag- nesium deficient rations. Farmers can adopt mea- sures to prevent this condition from developing. Use legumes such as alfalfa and trefoil, as the basis for pasture and hay mixtures; provide legume hay to cattle on fresh pasture; avoid over-fertilization of pastures with materials con- taining potash or nitrogen; or add 2 ounces of magnesium oxide per head, per day to grain rations; and add dolo- mitic limestone to solid tes ting as deficient in lime. An Ohio study of conditions relating to the incidence of grags tetany in cattle revealed that înost cases occurred very soon after livestock were placed on spring pasture. This study showed that' nitrogen fertilization of grass pasture increased the incidence of the condition when large amounts of fertilizer were applied. Most cases of grass* tetany in Ohio occurred when the mag- nesium content of grass and hay was less than 0.2 per cent.
