Calcium is one of the main minerals needed by animals to grow, develop and produce. Its main function in the animal is for bone and teeth formation. A deficiency or imbalance in calcium can cause poor growth rates, poor bone development, reduced milk output, and milk fever – a metabolic disease caused by a low blood calcium level (hypocalcaemia).
