ABSTRACT:
A composition for preventing and treating milk fever in freshening cows, and a method of administering the composition. The basic composition is a mixture of water, calcium chloride, propylene glycol, B vitamins and minerals. The calcium content is lower than conventional calcium treatments used for this purpose. The propylene glycol gives the cow an energy boost and sweetens the taste so the cow does not object to it as it does to conventional gels and liquids. The B vitamins stimulate the cow's appetite. The minerals replace minerals lost in the milk and also help the cow absorb calcium. The composition of the present invention is in a liquid form and is preferably administered using a 200-300 cc drench gun. The end of the dispensing tube of the drench gun is placed between the teeth and cheek of the cow near the receptors that stimulate the esophageal groove reflex. A feature near the end of the dispensing tube causes a bulge in the cow's cheek which indicates the position of the dispensing tube within the cow's mouth. The composition stimulates the receptors and closes the esophageal groove, thereby allowing the liquid into the omasum where calcium is absorbed quicker than in the rumen. The cow swallows the liquid mixture in a near normal manner which prevents the solution from causing aspiration pneumonia.
