  • Title: Alopecia in calves associated with milk substitute feeding.
    Author: Pritchard GC, Hill MR, Slater AJ.
    Journal: Vet Rec; 1983 Apr 30; 112(18):435-6. PubMed ID: 6868307.
    Abstract:
    Outbreaks of alopecia with unusually high morbidity occurred among calves reared on milk substitutes on two unrelated farms in Suffolk. On one farm alopecia occurred for three consecutive years; during the winter of 1981-82 there were also clinical signs of muscular dystrophy among the same calves. On the second farm calves with alopecia also showed signs of muscular dystrophy. The apparent relationship between alopecia and milk substitute feeding is discussed together with the possible involvement of vitamin E.
