| 中文描述 | 高魏小牛可能會發生肝脂肪營養失調症，雖然受影響的小牛可能會因為流產或是死產死去(Macleod and Allison)，但是也有一些出生後是正常的，不過會有漸進式的症狀出現，通常大約5個月齡便會死去。屍解可以發現一個腫大、變灰白、有斑點的肝臟，也可能伴隨著肝腦症(Macleod and Allison)。此疾病可能是因為遺傳所影起的，但是尚未被確定。 |
| 英文描述 | Galloway calves have developed hepatic lipodystrophy. Although affected calves have been aborted or stillborn (Macleod and Allison), calves are generally normal at birth, with signs of progressive disease that lead to death by 5 months of age. At postmortem there is a an enlarged, pale, and mottled liver, and changes suggestive of hepatic encephalopathy (Macleod and Allison). The cause and possible inheritance of this rare condition have not been determined. |
