An outbreak of nervous disease with deaths and reproductive failure was investigated in a fully housed flock of 640 super fine wool (Sharlea) Merino sheep. During the 4 months after the flock was dipped in dieldrin, 70 adult sheep died and no live lambs were produced by the ewes. The diagnosis of poisoning with dieldrin was based upon the presence of characteristic clinical signs, pathological findings and the detection of residues of dieldrin in tissues. Deficiency of vitamin A was confirmed in 2 sheep and may have contributed to the reproductive failure.
在一个饲养着640只超细羊毛(沙尔莱)美利奴羊的全封闭羊群中,调查了一场伴有死亡和繁殖失败的神经疾病暴发情况。在羊群用狄氏剂浸泡后的4个月里,70只成年羊死亡,母羊未产出活羔羊。狄氏剂中毒的诊断基于特征性临床症状、病理检查结果以及组织中狄氏剂残留的检测。在2只羊中证实存在维生素A缺乏,这可能是导致繁殖失败的原因之一。
