Abstract
A method of reducing risk of periparturient hypocalcemia in a periparturient ruminant animal involves: measuring blood phosphorus concentration in the animal; and, administering a composition containing a phosphorus-binding compound and optionally, a pharmacologically acceptable carrier to the animal during at least part of a prepartum period of the animal, the composition having an effective amount of the phosphorus-binding compound to control the blood phosphorus concentration in a range of 1.5-3.5 mg P per dL of blood in the animal.
