Preventing Milk Fever
A Dutch professor, Professor L. Seekles, head of the Veterinary Bio-Chemical School of Utrecht University, suggests that small doses of iodine before calving might be an effective preventive of milk fever. He bases this suggestion on the idea, which seems well supported, that the development of the dairy cow a sa milk producer has brought about over-activity of the pituitary gland. He suggests that measures against this over-develop-ment with iodine as the drug to be used would have good results during pregnancy.
