In 3 goats with osteodystrophia fibrosa, the main lesions were confined to the mandibles, although in two of the three all bones were rarefied and there were longbone fractures. In two goats there was evidence of a dietary cause due to selective feeding on a concentrate mixture low in calcium and high in phosphorus. In the third, the history was inadequate to indicate a likely cause.
