THE NATURAL PROTECTION OF SHEEP FROM EXTERNAL BETA
RADIATION.
Yalsrinarian
18, 345-61 (1957).
In April and May of 1953 sheepmen, wintering sheep north
ii:
aR
of the Nevada Proving Grounds, attributed heavy losses
in their flocks to residual radiation from the atomic
tests of that spring. Local veterinarians were unable
to determine the cause of the malady which was manifest
by progressive stages of erythama, desquamation, and
papule and pustule formation on the face, ears, sides,
and back. The loss of hair about the muzzle and the
tips of the ears with ulceration and crust formation
was suggestive of radiodermatitis. An extended study
led to a diagnosis of infectious pustular dermatitis.
During the study it was determined that the threshold
dose of radioinduced epilation of sheep skin ranged
from 2,500 to 15,000 r.eep., depending on the thickness
of the wool.
