Abstract
Over a 5-month period, 7 Holstein heifer calves on a farm in Drumbo, Ontario were discovered to have bilateral cataracts, 5 of which were considered acquired (congenital). Although the inciting cause remains unknown, extensive testing ruled out several possible causes, including bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV),, andsp. infection, and nutritional factors.
