Highly Sensitive 3D Sensors for Prevention of Hypocalcemia in Dairy Cows
Challenge
Hypocalcemia, colloquially known as Milk Fever, is a common metabolic disorder caused by severe calcium deficiency most prevalent in dairy cows. This disorder has clinical and subclinical levels of severity, the latter often going undetected due to lack of symptoms. Without treatment, up to 60-80% of cases result in death. Further, milk fever...
