Abstract
Lead poisoning is described in young lambs which were reared near lead mining areas in North Derbyshire, England. A brief history of the poisoning of stock which has occurred in the past near lead workings is given. The clinical results and post-mortem findings are reported together with descriptions of radiographical, histological and biochemical findings. A striking feature of all post-mortem examinations was an emaciated carcase with grossly abnormal kidneys. The bones were fragile and easily broken or cut. Kidney cortex and liver lead estimations were carried out in every case. The response of affected lambs to treatment with ascorbic acid is described and the similarities of the clinical signs and the skeletal lesions to scurvy in man and the guinea pig are discussed. 31 references, 6 figures, 2 tables.
