The experimental reproduction of enterotoxaemia in piglets [PDF]
Journal of Hygiene, 1959 1. Whole cultures ofClostridium welchii, Type C (organisms plus toxin), produced enterotoxaemia and death when fed to new-born piglets.2. The disease could rarely be produced by suspensions of washed organisms given in the same way but was readily initiated by feeding bacteria-free toxin from Type C cultures.3. Piglets dying from enterotoxaemia induced

The synergistic necrohemorrhagic action of Clostridium perfringens perfringolysin and alpha toxin in the bovine intestine and against bovine endothelial cells [PDF]
, 2013 Bovine necrohemorrhagic enteritis is a major cause of mortality in veal calves. Clostridium perfringens is considered as the causative agent, but there has been controversy on the toxins responsible for the disease.

The C-terminal domain of Clostridium perfringens alpha toxin as a vaccine candidate against bovine necrohemorrhagic enteritis [PDF]
, 2016 Bovine necrohemorrhagic enteritis is caused by Clostridium perfringens and leads to sudden death. Alpha toxin, together with perfringolysin O, has been identified as the principal toxin involved in the pathogenesis.

Rethinking our understanding of the pathogenesis of necrotic enteritis in chickens [PDF]
, 2009 For decades, low doses of antibiotics have been used widely in animal production to promote growth. However, there is a trend to reduce this use of antibiotics in feedstuffs, and legislation is now in place in Europe to prohibit their use in this way. As

Perfringolysin O: The Underrated Clostridium perfringens Toxin?
Toxins, 2015 The anaerobic bacterium Clostridium perfringens expresses multiple toxins that promote disease development in both humans and animals. One such toxin is perfringolysin O (PFO, classically referred to as θ toxin), a pore-forming cholesterol-dependent ...

Pigs experimentally infected with Serpulina hyodysenteriae can be protected from developing swine dysentery by feeding them a highly digestible diet [PDF]
, 1996 Weaner pigs (n = 72) were fed 1 of 4 diets. These were based on either cooked rice and animal protein, cooked rice and lupin, wheat and lupin, or wheat and animal protein. Twenty-six of the pigs were slaughtered after 1 month.
