Notes on Animal Diseases Xxiii-Deficiency Diseases
(July, 1944) Hudson, J.R.; M.R.C.V.S., Veterinary Research Laboratory, Kabete, Kenya
During the present century a vast amount of time has been devoted to the study of the elements and accessory food factors which are necessary for the maintenance of health in man, animals and plants. Strictly speaking, starvation is a deficiency disease; but it is usual to restrict the term to conditions caused by the Jack of some essential substance which is xequired in relatively small quantity only and to eliminate the results of what may probably be more correctly termed" improper feeding". The list of minerals, that in small quantities have been found necessary for life, is considerable and continues to grow as various obscure diseases are elucidated. As to the accessory food factors or vitamins, only the more specialized workers can find time to digest the large amount of literature which is now published about them annually.
Sterility
(1938) Daubney, R.; Hudson, J.R.; Anderson, J.; Veterinary Department, Kenya Colony
The first cases of this disease were seen in Kenya about 1928, and since that date it has been recognized on many European farms throughout the settled areas. The disease occurs in pure-bred bulls of almost all the European breeds, and in both high- and. low-grade bulls. The Maasai apparently know the condition, and refer to it by the same name as that used by them for gonorrhoea in man.
