Abstract
THE literature on the problem of muscular degeneration in pigs has offered various hypotheses, though a definite cause for this condition or an effective control method has not yet been found1–3. It is questionable whether the nutritional muscular dystrophy found in Sweden4 shows any ætiological relation with the aforementioned abnormality.
