“…As far as the live-stock of the United Kingdom is concerned hill sheep are thus the class of farm animals most exposed to the risks of disorders of the bones and teeth. Records exist of several bone and tooth disorders occurring in hill sheep in this country: 'cappi' (Bowes 1932;Bosworth & Stewart, 1932-33;Thomlinson, 1953-54;Fraser & Stamp, 1957;Cresswell, 1958), 'bent leg' (Elliot, OIT, Wood & Crichton, 1926;Dunlop, 1954), 'cripples' (Stewart, 1933;Piercy, 1934a, 6), osteoporosis (Butler, Nisbet & Robertson, 1957) and early loss of incisor teeth (Wallace, 1955;Fraser & Stamp, 1957). Workers in New Zealand have drawn attention to analogous disorders in sheep-rickets (Fitch, 1943;Ewer & Bartrum, 1948), 'bowie' (Fitch, 1954;Cunningham, 1957) and excessive wear of incisor teeth (Barnicoat, 1957).…”

1. A factorial experiment on wether hoggs was carried out to examine the effects on bone growth and composition and on blood composition of four dietary factors. The factors were extra calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D, and energy in the form of starch, and each was fed in all possible combinations, so that there were sixteen dietary treatment groups in all. Each group consisted of three animals.2. Serum calcium and blood inorganic phosphorus concentrations were determined monthly, and radiographs of most parts of the skeleton were taken at the beginning and end of the experiment. After about 6 months on the experimental diets the animals were killed and the ash weights and percentage of ash of different parts of the skeleton and of the whole skeleton were determined. Live-weight changes and food intakes were also measured.

“…Double scaup was the subject of a report by Bowes (1932) who referred to its occurrence among young sheep in the Craven district of Yorkshire. Bowes described it as ' thinning' of the frontal plate of the skull, due to anaemia caused by strongyle infection of the abomasum and intestine.…”

1. This investigation into double scaup in hill sheep took the form of a series of field experiments combined with the gathering of incidental information.The field experiments were designed to test the currently held view that double scaup is a ‘disease’ caused by mineral deficiencies (probably phosphorus) complicated by parasite infestation, which can be cured by the offering of, or treatment with, mineral mixtures combined with the use of anthelminthics.2. The experiments involved the use of a proprietary mineral mixture containing feeding bone flour, lime salt and trace elements, freely offered in troughs. Phenothiazine, dicalcium phosphate and trace elements administered orally were also used. Vitamin D2 (calciferol) was introduced into the investigation following a suggestion by Innes (1934) that double scaup may be a form of rickets.3. Statistical analysis of the weight records obtained from these experiments revealed no beneficial effect on weight gains from any of the treatments given. Field examination indicated that the treatments also had no effect upon the incidence of detectable double scaup in each of the flocks studied.4. It was found that double scaup is not a condition affecting only poorer hill farms in the north of England and in southern Scotland, but is in fact an indication of the generalized thinning of the skeleton of vast numbers of young and apparently healthy sheep in these areas.
