3.3 Nutritional Myopathy in Cattle; from a Clinical Problem to Experimental Models for Studying Selenium, Vitamin E and Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Interactions

Abstract: A number of diseases of ruminants are related to deficiencies of vitamin E and selenium (Se). Nutritional myopathy or white muscle disease (Blaxter and Sharman, 1953; Oksanen, 1965; Allen, Bradley, Berrett, Parr, Swannack, Barton and MacPhee, 1975; McMurray and McEldowney, 1977) affects the young bovine. Crawley and Bradley (1978) have described a sudden death syndrome in Se-deficient, bucket-fed, calves, which disappeared when Se was added to the diet.
