Laboratory diagnosis of Clostridium botulinum (C. botulinum) in cattle and horses revealed a 54% positive rate. Modern farming practices significantly impact toxinogenesis in feed, necessitating disease prevention strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary microbiology
  • Animal pathology

Context:

  • Laboratory diagnosis of Clostridium botulinum (C. botulinum) infections in cattle and horses between 1995 and 1998.
  • Analysis of 122 cases, with 66 testing positive for C. botulinum.

Purpose:

  • To describe the laboratory diagnosis of C. botulinum in livestock.
  • To identify prevalent toxin types and investigate contributing factors to outbreaks.

Summary:

  • 66 out of 122 diagnosed cases were positive for C. botulinum.
  • Toxin types C and D were most common in cattle. Typing was inconclusive in 9 cases.
  • Owner surveys indicated modern agricultural technology influences toxin production in feedstuffs.

Impact:

  • Highlights the prevalence of C. botulinum in cattle and horses.
