Clinical hypo-calcemia (CH) is a common metabolic disease in cows grazing lush pastures high in potassium. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of CH and subclinical hypocalcemia (SH) in 4 grazing Jersey herds in Costa Rica. Subclinical hypocalcemia has been studied to a limited extent in tropical dairy systems. Two hundred and seven Jersey cows from 4 herds located in the highlands of Cartago, Costa Rica, were used to analyze serum calcium (Ca) contents. Feeding practices during the close up period were based on intensive grazing of kikuyu grass (Kikuyuocloa clandestina) and the supplementation of 3 to 4 kilograms of a grain mixture low in Ca (0.2% of dry matter). Blood samples were arranged by lactation number: 1st (n=36)...
