The Pathological Investigations on Nutritional Myopathy Causing Lamb Deaths in Neonatal Period

Abstract

In this study; between October 2014 and March 2016, 39 lambs evaluated grossly and histopathologically, which dead from nutritional myopathy (NM) symptoms showing such as inability to stand up and limping. Heart, intercostal muscles, diaphragm and musculus gracilis were evaluated in terms of paleness and calcification for gross pathology. After the routine tissue processing, samples were stained with H&E and examined under light microscope. Grossly, paleness in 39 cases and calcification in 22 cases were detected in the hearts. It was found that the most affected skeletal muscle was m.gracilis with paleness in 23 cases and calcification in 9 cases. In intercostal muscles, paleness in 11 cases and calcification in 2 cases were observed. Although, paleness in 8 cases were observed, there was no calcification found in diaphragm. Microscopically, hyaline degeneration and Zenker's necrosis found in heart in 35 cases, in m.gracilis in 18 cases, in diaphragm and intercostal muscles in 7 cases.

According to the findings, cardiac form is more effective to be found in Cental Anatolia region in Turkey. Moreover, NM was an important disease that threats the herd health in lambs.
