Selenium toxicosis in swine.
Selenium toxicosis was diagnosed as the cause of fatal paralytic disease in a group of feeder pigs. Lumbar poliomyelomalacia and coronary band necrosis were the principal lesions. High selenium concentrations were detected in liver and kidney. Excessive selenium was traced to the premix added to the complete ration.
