Abstract

In a breeding pig farm 11 animals died acutely showing nasal hemorrhage within 7 days, and 3 autopsycases revealed all the organs including the liver were considerably softened and spongy with numerous gas. Histologically, all the organs were severely necrotized in the presence of gram positive large bacilli, which were identified as Clostridium novyi Type A (Cn-A). The Cn-A organisms were isolated by the CO₂ gas jet culture method, and the surviving 19 animals showed indirect hemagglutination titers of 1: 128-512 against the Cn-A isolate. The present outbreak seemed to result from food contamination.
