Abstract

Grass tetany is a magnesium (Mg)
deficiency in cattle and other ruminants that has
caused many livestock deaths in the United States
and throughout the world. The occurrence of grass
tetany depends greatly on forage constituents that
reduce the availability of dietary Mg. Recent research
findings are increasing our understanding
of this difficult nutritional problem.
