ABSTRACT
An outbreak of disease characterized by diarrhea, severe myocarditis, and high mortality occurred in a group of 800 male B6C3F1/ Har mice fed powdered purified diets. A total of 292 animals died. No evidence of an infectious agent was found, and the disease was reproduced in healthy mice by feeding the purified diets, suggesting a nutritional deficiency or toxicity. Analysis of the feed revealed adequate levels of vitamin E, reduced levels of thiamine, and elevated levels of lipoperoxide. It was concluded that mortality was due to myocarditis associated with the ingestion of rancid feed.
