title: [Sodium thiocyanate as a protective agent in intensive calf fattening. Brief report].
abstract: Daily administration of sodium thiocyanate at 750 mg a calf for the first three weeks in the fattening stalls reduced the occurrence of illness by 60%. This protective effect seemed to persist during the following weeks without additional treatment. Addition of the thiocyanate to the food may be beneficial through a nutritive effect.
