CONT

La maladie alcaline est une maladie métabolique [...] dont la cause réelle est la forte teneur en sélénium de l'alimentation. Ce n'est donc pas une maladie de carence mais une intoxication qui peut être aiguë ou chronique. Les animaux présentent une perte de vitalité, de l'émaciation, un pelage rude, de l'anémie, des troubles de fonctionnement du cœur, une atrophie et une cirrhose du foie, une raideur des membres.
