Abstract:
Sarcina-like bacteria, possibly Sarcina
ventriculi, have been seen upon histopathologic
examination of the abomasums of calves that
died of abomasal bloat. The ability of the
organism to grow at a low pH and produce
large amounts of gas suggests that it may be the
cause of abomasal bloat.
