Acute paralysis was observed in suckling piglets and weaner piglets on a pig breeding farm. Pathomorphological investigations revealed characteristic lesions in the central nervous system. These lesions were indicative of selenium poisoning. This was verified by chemical-toxicological analysis of organs and tissues of the affected pigs. Poisoning was shown to have been caused by the feed: one feed preparation contained an extremely large amount of selenium, which was due to human failure.
