Abstract:
On a dairy farm situated 200 km from the sea on sandy soil an increasing problem arose during 3 years with new-born calves showing a thickness over the larynx. The calves and close-in heifers proved to be severely deficient in trace elements. The new born calves had goitre. The clinical picture, diagnosis and therapy/prevention are discussed.
