#Low levels of blood calcium in dairy cows may affect cow health, productivitythe health of dairy cows after giving birth plays a big factor in the quantity and quality of the milk the cows produce.
Now researchers at the University of Missouri have found that subclinical hypocalcemia which is the condition of having low levels of calcium in the blood

While the researchers did not find any direct links to health problems they say correlations with higher levels of fat in the liver call for further research into the health implications of low blood calcium levels.
To maximize the health of the cows and the amount of quality milk dairy cows produce Middleton recommends paying close attention to dietary management in the late dry/early lactating period as well as providing supplemental sources of calcium during early
Because our study suggests some potential risks for health issues in dairy cows with subclinical hypocalcemia it is important for dairy farmers to monitor these levels in their cows Middleton said.
