The Dairy Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast - Dr. Claira Seely: Subclinical Hypocalcemia - Part 1 | Ep. 85

In this episode of The Dairy Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast, Dr. Claira Seely, from the University of New Hampshire, sheds light on the evolving understanding of subclinical hypocalcemia in dairy cattle. Dr. Seely explains how the understanding of this condition has evolved over time, especially in diagnosing it at the right moment. Learn how the timing of calcium monitoring can impact milk production, reproduction, and overall cow health. Listen now on all major platforms!

What will you learn: 

• Subclinical hypocalcemia
• Blood calcium dynamics
• Transition cow management
• Precision dairy technologies
