Grass Tetany Advice
We have seen many farms affected by multiple cases of Grass Tetany this season. Also known as Grass Staggers and Hypomagnesaemia, it is caused by low blood magnesium levels (Mg).
Signs to look for:
- Sudden deaths
- Nervous, excitable or aggressive behaviour
- Muscle tremors
- Staggering or collapse
- Downer cows
Most at risk:
- Older cows (cannot mobilise Mg from bones easily, produce more milk when lactating, less able to absorb Mg from gut)
- Lactating cows with young calves at foot
- Grazing lush rapidly growing pastures, especially if fertilised with nitrogen
- This time of year especially with new grass growth
- Reduced feed intake- following cold or wet conditions
Treatments and Prevention:
- Supplemental feeding
- IV solution containing Calcium and Magnesium
- Adding Mg in feed and water

Our new inVue Machine!
We are so excited to be chosen to be the first in the state and second in Australia and New Zealand to have this new technology.
This machine provides automated cytology and blood morphology analysis giving reference laboratory-level accuracy within 10 minutes. In time, it will also be used to analyse Fine Needle Biopsies of Lumps and Bumps!
We are looking forward to spending less time at the microscope for ear swabs and blood smear analysis!
