    TLDR Early diagnosis and treatment of iodine deficiency in buffalo calves is crucial for their healthy growth.
    This report details the diagnosis and treatment of iodine deficiency in a one-month-old female buffalo calf, which presented with inappetence and generalized alopecia. The deficiency led to low levels of triiodothyronine and thyroxine, affecting skin and hair health. Treatment with oral levo-thyroxine resulted in marked clinical improvement. The case underscores the importance of early diagnosis and management of iodine deficiency to promote optimal growth and development in young calves.
