Vitamin deficiency diseases (from Table 5 of the notes):

Riboflavin (B2) → Curled toe paralysis (b): Classic sign in chickens — toes curl inward due to peripheral nerve degeneration.
Vitamin E → Crazy chick disease / Encephalomalacia (c): Degeneration of the cerebellum in chicks. Also causes White muscle disease, Exudative diathesis, Mulberry heart disease.
Thiamine (B1) → Polyneuritis (e): In birds — 'star gazer position' (head drawn backward, sitting on flexed legs). In ruminants → Polioencephalomalacia (CCN).
Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic acid) → Goose-stepping in pigs (a): Stiff, high-stepping gait due to nerve degeneration. Also caused by B6 (Pyridoxine).
Biotin (B8) → Spectacle eye in rats (d): Periorbital dermatitis mimicking spectacles. Also causes FLKS in poultry.
