Description
Swelling of the hocks with lameness developed in 80 heifers of one herd, commencing just after calving. The condition had been seen in other herds in northern Germany for 10 years. It responded to sodium selenite injection and a daily supplement of 5 mg Se for cows, or 2-3 mg Se for calves (5 ppm in concentrate)
