White muscle disease of sheep and associated tissue selenium levels in Western Australia.

White Muscle Disease of sheep occurs in Western Australia as distinct syndromes in lambs and weaner sheep. Mean liver selenium concentrations of lambs and weaners with WMD and unaffected by WMD were 0.19 and 0.46 ppm, and 0.20 and 0.41 ppm (dry weight) respectively. There was considerable overlap between levels suggesting that selenium status was not the only factor involved in the development of WMD.

Polioencephalomalacia of sheep and cattle.

Polioencephalomalacia was confirmed histologically in Western Australia in sheep from 100 farms and cattle from 14 farms during the period 1965 to 1974. The condition affected sheep and cattle in good physical condition of all ages, throughout the year. Mortality rates in sheep flocks ranged from less than 1% to in excess of 10% and occurred under a number of management systems.

Zamia palm (Macrozamia reidlei) poisoning of sheep.

Sheep mortalities caused by the ingestion of leaves of the zamia palm (Macrozamia reidlei) were recorded from 6 properties in Western Australia from 1966 to 1971. Deaths occurred in sheep less than 2 years of age and involved from 2 to 9% of the flock. The primary lesion was acute hepatic necrosis, neurological effects were not recorded. The condition was reproduced experimentally when crushed kernel, mascerated leaf or leaf extract was administered by stomach tube.
