Abstract

Three 2-to 3-month-old lambs with cerebrocortical necrosis, showing mainly recumbency, opisthotonus, nystagmus and convulsion, were examined for thiamine levels in blood and organs. Thiamine concentrations in organs, such as cerebrum, cerebellum, liver and heart, and in rumen fluid were significantly low, accompanying markedly elevated pyruvic acid concentration and no abnormal thiamine level in blood. Pathologically, the bilateral cerebral cortex with laminar or focal areas with discoloration showed severe degeneration of neurons and spongy areas of neuropils.
