Abstract

A nine month old Holstein bull calf was examined on May 20, 1988 for the primary complaint of severe depression and recumbency. The calf was located on a large dairy farm in northern Virginia where he had been born on September 2, 1987. The bull had been kept in a dry lot with mature dairy cattle for several months. Recently the diet of the cattle had been supplemented with wheat silage which had a spoiled odor. The affected bull had no history of illness, but was small for his age ( approximately 500 lbs.)
