Milk Fever is a disease commonly seen in cattle and other domesticated animals. The disease occurs from the onset of partuition when calcium, usually in the blood stream, is redirected towards milk production. This causes the cow to become weak and can ultimately lead to death if not treated.

The cause of Milk Fever was unknown and theorised since the early 19th century, however it was R(D)SVS lecturers, John Russell Greig and Henry Dryerre, who discovered the link between Milk Fever and calcium deficiency in 1925.
