Abstract
Under field conditions, high intakes of high moistures, ensiled, moldy shelled corn reportedly produced symptoms of tetany in lactating dairy cows. Samples of the moldy corn were substituted for 50 and 100% of the normal corn in a dairy ration. Attempts to reproduce the symptoms of tetany in lactating cows were unsuccessful. When the ensiled moldy corn was fed at 30, 40, and 50% of a ration to six meadow voles (Microtus pennsylvanicus) per proportion, feed intake increased (P<.01). Ensiled moldy corn failed to influence the calcium content of the meadow vole in relation either to body weight or to total ash.
