Abstract

Blindness secondary to retinal degeneration has been described in Hostein cattle. In the few reported cases, the disease is of unknown etiology, appears in apparently healthy adult cows with no other systemic signs of illness, and has not been linked to heredity. This report will describe two cases of an apparent familial retinal degeneration and blindness in related adult dairy cows.
