absence of oxygen, usually grown in deep wounds. Can live in the soil. Young cattle are more susceptible then older cattle. Sudden death, lameness, swollen muscles and high fever are some symptoms.

get it. Sanitation is the key to preventing this disease. It is very important for the young calves to drink colostrum.

contaminated feed and water. Sometimes caused by breeding. The symptoms will show 4-14 days before death.
