Abstract
Extract In New Zealand, disease entities in sheep knownto respond to minute quantities of selenium are congenital and delayed white muscle disease of lambs (Drake et al., 1960a Drake, C. , Grant, A. B. and Hartley, W. J. 1960a. N.Z. vet. J., 8: 4–4. [Taylor & Francis Online] [Google Scholar] ), selenium responsive unthriftiness in young sheep (Drake et al., 1960b Drake, C. , Grant, A. B. and Hartley, W. J. 1960b. N.Z. vet. J., 8: 7–7. [Taylor & Francis Online] [Google Scholar] ) and aform of lowered fertility in ewes (Hartley et al., 1960 Hartley, W J. , Grant, A. B. and Drake, C. 1960. N.Z. J. Agr., 101: 343–343. [Google Scholar] ). It is probable that paradontal disease (Salisbury et al., 1953 Salisbury, R. M. , Armstrong, M. C. and Gray, K. G. 1953. N.Z. vet. J, 1: 51–51. [Taylor & Francis Online] [Google Scholar] ), and possible that white muscle disease of hoggets (Hartley and Dodd, 1957 Hartley, W. J. and Dodd, D. C. 1957. N.Z. vet. J., 5: 61–61. [Taylor & Francis Online] [Google Scholar] ) will also be included in this category (Hartley and Grant, 1961 Hartley, W. J. and Grant, A. B. 1961. Federation Proceeding, 20: 679–679. [Google Scholar] ). In addition, growth responses to selenium have been obtained in unweaned lambs showing no signsof ill health (McLean et al., 1959 McLean, J. W. , Thomson, G. G. and Claxton, J. H. 1959. N.Z.vet.J, 7: 47–47. [Taylor & Francis Online] [Google Scholar] ).
