Zusammenfassung:The yield and composition of milk secreted by 5 cows fasted for 6 days in early lactation are recorded, as also are blood analyses of samples taken before, during and after fasting. Two of the 5 cows developed clinical signs of milk fever towards the end of the fasting period. They responded to treatment with calcium borogluconate. The significance of these findings in relation to metabolic diseases of the lactating ruminant is discussed.
