Abstract
The nature of hyperkeratosis (X-disease) in cattle and the associated pathological changes are described. The experiments leading to the isolation and identification of highly chlorinated naphthalene as the causative agent of the disease are reviewed, and the effects of the chlorinated naphthalenes on vitamin A metabolism in various species discussed.This publication has 21 references indexed in Scilit:
