Studies were conducted to evaluate blood mineral levels in ataxic and apparently normal sheep and goats, and sheep and goats regarding season, location and physiological stage; forage mineral levels from swayback affected locations, and in relation to season and location; tissue mineral levels in ataxic and abattoir sheep and goats, and in abattoir sheep and goats in the wet and dry seasons; haematological values in ataxic and apparently normal sheep and goats, and in sheep and goats regarding season and physiological stage, and to describe the pathological lesions in swayback lambs and kids... Most ataxic lambs and kids displayed the pathognomonic lesions of swayback, namely necrosis of the large motor neurones of the brain stem and spinal cord.
