Changes in serum concentrations of Ca and parathyroid hormone (PTH) may develop in periparturient mares, may be influenced by dietary Ca, and may be associated with changes in Ca concentration of mammary secretion. Milk and blood samples were taken from eight mares on Farm A and eight on Farm B for 10 d before parturition and from four mares on each farm for 5 d postpartum. Milk Ca was measured by two commercial tests. Serum samples were analyzed for PTH and total Ca in 16 mares and for ionized Ca in six (Farm A). Parturition was induced in eight mares on Farm A and four on Farm B; no significant difference in serum Ca or PTH was found between mares with induced and spontaneous foaling. Mean serum total Ca decreased from 12.5 mg/dL to a nadir of 11 mg/dL on d 2 postpartum, and mean PTH increased from 46 pg/mL to a peak of 186 pg/mL on d 2 postpartum. Serum total Ca concentrations were lower and serum PTH concentrations were higher in Farm A mares than in Farm B mares, probably reflecting dietary Ca (.35% of DM on Farm A and .55% on Farm B). The serum PTH peak and Ca nadir occurred on d 2 postpartum, 1 d later than reported previously in dairy cows. Milk Ca concentration increased progressively from 7 d before parturition; this increase preceded, so was not dependent on, prepartal changes in serum Ca and PTH.
