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.
随着养殖猎禽（即圈养鸟类）的工业化方法的引入，出现了一些新的疾病，如脑软化症。由于其特殊性质，这种疾病最初被称为复合维生素B缺乏症，并采取了相应的治疗措施。最近的研究排除了维生素缺乏症，现在已确认该疾病为脑软化症。在鹧鸪、石鸡和野鸡的病例中，发现维生素E和硒的水平有所下降。因此，维生素E和硒疗法产生了快速的治疗效果。
