Big Head 20kd

Hyfeed

‘Nutritional hyperparathyroidism’or BIG HEAD is a calcium deficiency caused by the imbalances in available minerals from the feeding of bran, pollard, kikuyu grass, buffel grass, pan- gola grass, para grass, setaria grass and pigweed.

The disease can develop within two months of putting horses onto problem feeds but more often it can take six to eight months. Low blood calcium increases the demineralisation of bone causing them to become weak and fragile with the nose and jawbones becoming swollen. Urine may be milky, muscle tremors
and twitching, may staggering gait, loss of appetite and ill thrift some of the recognised symptoms.  If left un-treated death can occur.
