Abstract
Urinary Ca excretion in preparturient dairy cows is an indication that plasma ionised Ca is in excess of requirements (Kurosaki et al., 2007). As blood plasma Ca concentration must be maintained within a narrow range, any increase in Ca inflow to the extracellular pool can be expected to increase the outflow of Ca via the kidneys. Ca concentration is under homeostatic control, primarily via parathyroid hormone (PTH) (Horst, 1986).
