Large Animal Review, 30(5), 223-226Bovine erythropoietic protoporphyria (BCEPP) is a rare genetic disorder predominantly affecting Limousin and, sporadically, Blonde Aquitaine cattle. It arises from diminished or absent ferrochelatase activity, causing the toxic build up of protoporph... Read More about A case of bovine erythropoietic protoporphyria in a female Limousin calf.
