These links lead to articles that may be helpful in keeping your animals healthy, or in recognizing and treating disease. We've tried to keep the links to those written by veterinarians or specialists in some field, but a few are written by the general public. Many diseases or conditions may appear similar, so veterinary disgnosis is extremely important. As always, check with your own vet before trying a cure or medication.

Clostridial diseases inflict heavy losses among livestock every year. The family of bacteria, Clostridia, are responsible for these diseases. They generally cause a fatal infection when they enter the animal's body. The bacteria are capable of living for years in the soil because of their ability to form spores, which protect them from the action of the weather. The above diseases are discussed.
