White muscle disease appeared in lambs born of ewes in the zero grazing group during the course of a comparative fertility trial on ewes on various systems of husbandry. Analysis of the feed showed barely adequate selenium in the maize silage and a deficiency in the soil on which the high lysine maize was grown. Treatment of the lambs with a selenium/vitamin E injection rapidly controlled the condition. This deficiency may be more widespread than is presently realised.
在一项针对不同饲养系统下母羊的比较繁殖力试验过程中，舍饲组母羊所产羔羊出现了白肌病。饲料分析表明，青贮玉米中的硒含量勉强足够，而种植高赖氨酸玉米的土壤中硒缺乏。用硒/维生素E注射液对羔羊进行治疗后，病情迅速得到控制。这种缺乏可能比目前意识到的更为普遍。
