Abstract
Young non-ruminating calves fed plant or animal fats in an unhomogenized form develop an alopecia of the perineal region. Hair quickly begins to grow in the denuded area if the fat is homogenized into the skimmilk, or if the calf begins eating hay or grain.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
