Abstract

In the present study, 9 male calves having thyroid gland enlargement on either side of neck were critically observed and other possibilities of enlargement were ruled out. The animals were divided in three groups (3 in each) with 3 different treatments viz. Iodized salts, Tincture iodine and Thyroxine. Significant clinical response was observed after 15 days in group III treated with thyroxine with complete recovery in 20-25 days. The results confirmed superior therapeutic efficacy of thyroxine against goiter in calves. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
