Question

Normal serum calcium level in cattle is

• A. 5.9-7.1 mg/dl
• B. 8.5-10 mg/dl
• C. 5.9-7.1 g/dl
• D. 8.5-10 g/dl

Hint:

Always pay close attention to the units in biochemistry questions:
- Calcium is measured in mg/dl (milligrams per deciliter).
- Proteins and hemoglobin are measured in g/dl (grams per deciliter).
- Normal calcium = \(8.5-10\) mg/dl.
- Parturient paresis (milk fever) occurs when calcium drops below \(5.5\) mg/dl.
