GRASS TETANY Some cattle deaths in recent weeks have been caused by grass tetany, say veterinarians of the Veterinary Services Branch, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. They recommend that all cattle be taken off pasture into shelter and put on a hay diet. They also advise farmers to contact their local veterinarian if they feel they have a potential prob- lem. This fall's poor weather is one reason for the outbreak. The disease is caused by magnesium imbalance. The condition can arise when cattle are on past- ure in late fall. Cold weather apparently reduces the uptake of magnesium by forages, as well as lowering magnesium levels in the animals by in- creased demand, poorer absorp- tion, or some other means. Affected animals may appear nervous or uncoodinated. They will walk with a stiff -legged gait, have muscle spasms of the legs and tail and will fall down in convulsions. The early symptoms of the disease are not unlike the symptoms of rabies.
