Enterotoxaemia‐like syndrome and Clostridium perfringens in veal calves [PDF]
SEVERAL enteritis/enterotoxaemia syndromes in mammals and birds are the consequence of an uncontrolled overgrowth of Clostridium perfringens invading the small intestine from the caecum and the colon and producing different exotoxins.

Sudden death in a ewe due to Enterococcus hirae septicaemia
Abstract A 2‐year‐10‐month‐old ewe, found dead 10 days post‐lambing, was submitted for postmortem examination to the Royal Veterinary College. Significant gross findings included subcutaneous and pleural haemorrhages, cortical renal haemorrhages, hydropericardium and a mural haemorrhagic thrombus in the right ventricular wall.

Use of serum total protein as a proxy for passive transfer status in lambs
Abstract Background Serum total protein (TP) is commonly used to investigate failure of passive transfer of immunity (FPTI) in cattle. This short communication explores the use of serum TP as a proxy of passive transfer (PT) status in lambs. Methods Blood samples were obtained from 434 lambs within 8‒24 hours of birth to measure serum immunoglobulin G (

Abstract Background Inadequate ewe nutrition is an important driver for neonatal lamb losses, although the association of ewe metabolic status with lamb passive transfer status is poorly understood. This study investigates the relationship between ewe metabolic status, neonatal lamb losses, failure of passive transfer of immunity (FPTI) and lamb growth.
