Abstract

A tetany that resembles field cases of grass tetany has been experimentally induced in cattle by orally administering KC1 plus either citric or trans-acomtic acid. These two acids or KC1 administered separately do not produce tetany. The mechanism whereby this condition occurs is not delineated. Administration of KC1 alone lowers plasma magnesium over extended periods, but the combination of KC1 and citric acid lowers plasma magnesium in 24 hr. to 1 week.
