Abstract

Decreased blood calcium (Ca) concentration in the early postpartum period, often diagnosed as subclinical hypocalcemia (SCH), is a common occurrence in Holstein cows. Our objectives were to evaluate the association of SCH duration with the risk of early lactation negative events and milk production.
