Two dairy cows were affected with general amyloidosis, showing emaciation, anemia, edema, cessation of milk secretion, and absence of estrus. Hepatomegaly of milk secretion, and absence of estrus. Hepatomegaly was confirmed by biopsy in one of them. No pictures were present to indicate the regeneration of erythrocytes. Remarkable proteinuria was characteristic of both cows.
Hypoproteinemia was observed. Paperelectrophoretic analysis revealed a decrease of albumin and an increase of α- and β-globulin, particularly γ-globulin. It also proved that not only albumin but also globulin appeared in the urine.
In the etiological consideration, it was presumed that these cases might be related to Johne's disease.
