    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Pathology
    • Sheep Medicine
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Terminal ileitis is an inflammatory condition affecting the final section of the small intestine.
    • Previous reports on similar conditions in lambs are limited.
    • Understanding the pathology is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the clinical and pathological findings of terminal ileitis in Alberta lambs.
    • To identify potential causes or contributing factors.
    • To contribute to the knowledge base of ovine intestinal diseases.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series involving three affected lamb flocks.
    • Clinical data collection including signs like emaciation and diarrhea.
    • Postmortem examination with detailed histopathological analysis of intestinal tissues.

    Main Results:

    • Affected lambs presented with progressive emaciation, diarrhea, and abdominal stretching.
    • Histopathology showed thickened ileal mucosa with significant lymphocytic and other inflammatory cell infiltrates.
    • Prominent hyperplasia of intestinal lymphoid tissue was observed in most cases.

    Conclusions:

    • The observed condition in Alberta lambs is characterized by terminal ileitis with significant inflammation and lymphoid hyperplasia.
    • The etiology of this specific terminal ileitis in lambs remains undetermined.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the cause of this ovine intestinal disease.
