Chromosome evaluation was carried out on blood culture samples of 40 animals including six baldy calves, to determine whether the Fragile X chromosome reported previously in baldy calves is a consistent feature of this syndrome. Influence of the baldy calf environment on the integrity of chromosome was tested by inoculating cultures of lymphocytes from normal heifers, with either various concentrations of plasma from baldy calves or Mycoplasma arginini isolated from clinical cases of Baldy Calf Syndrome. 2, record 2, English, - baldy%20calf%20syndrome
