This was a wasting disease that had a deleterious effect on the quality of the wool. From the late 1920s Lines had, with some success, been giving sheep on Kangaroo Island dietary supplements. Taking up the theory of Dick Thomas, that the deficiency of trace elements in the soils on which the sheep were grazing was the cause of coast disease, Lines conducted a series of controlled experiments at the Division's facility at Robe, South Australia. These experiments identified a lack of cobalt as the culprit. Both Lines and Thomas were removed from further involvement in this research.
