title: [Case report: tympany and diarrhea in calves].
abstract: Diarrhoea and meteorism was observed in calves, that were fed on hay, linseed and milk replacer. Different factors were found in the feedstuffs, which could have caused these symptoms. The feeding value of the hay was not high enough due to intense lignification, while the milk replacer showed a slightly impaired hygienic quality. The linseed contained cyanogenic glycosides in higher concentrations (226 mg HCN/kg).
