Abstract

Frosts and freezes to pasture forages in the late Spring provided hints as to the cause of the grass tetany syndrome as well as other syndromes associated with an increase in nitrate and reduced sodium in pasture forages [1-3]. Climatic changes involving frosts and freezes commonly damage pastures in mid-western and eastern USA states, especially when they occur in late Spring. Herbivores grazing affected pastures often experience different syndromes, including fetal losses in cows and mares, related to increased levels of potassium and nitrate, and a deficiency in sodium.
