We evaluated metabolic abnormalities in six neonatal Noma foals (Nos. 54–57, 62, and 66) that died shortly after birth, using laboratory tests, pathological examinations, serum amino acid (AA) analyses, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), and genetic analyses. Nonspecific clinical symptoms...
