    Abstract:
    With the introduction of industrial methods of breeding game animals, resp., birds in confinement some new diseases have arisen, such as encephalomalacia. Due to its peculiar character this disease was first referred to as B-complex avitaminosis, respective therapeutic measures being taken. Recent studies have ruled out avitaminosis, and the disease is now confirmed as encephalomalacia. In the case of partridges, rock partridges, and pheasants some drop was found of the levels of vitamin E and selenium. Accordingly, vitamtin E and selenium therapy produced a rapid curative effect.
