Abstract
Postmortem examination of a Boer buck kid that died peracutely revealed diffusely congested, edematous bowel. Clostridium perfringens Type A was isolated. Some isolates carried the gene for beta2 toxin, suggesting a role for beta2 toxin in caprine enterotoxemia, a common cause of death in growing kids.Entities:
