- Abstract
The article presents a study which evaluates whether the farmers can treat cows suffering from milk fever and whether it might affect the proportion of cows treated for milk fever and the number of treatments per case, and the case fatality among cows in Denmark. The study compared the incidence of milk fever risk. Results showed that the incidence of risk was twice as high 'after' compare to 'before' the farmers begun to treat milk fever.
