White in urine?

[Pink Jumper]

I have 2 sows and I have noticed that either one or both (not sure yet) have white in their urine, is this normal? :{

hi my two boars had this and its something to do with calcium (cant remember) but it's ok i'm sure someone will be able to tell you more though

Yeah thats to do with calcium ! (:

Does it mean there is too much Calcium? Is that bad?

Yep it is calcium, same happens with rabbits I think a small amount of white is ok. Certain veg and hays can contain a lot of calcium so might be worth cutting those down if you are worried

The only problem with the calcium is if it gets quite thick and sludgy, as I think that could lead to stones forming in the bladder/kidney. Although that is just something I remember reading so might be worth asking someone with more expertise
