Cysticercosis from Taenia hydatigena in feedlot lambs.
A feedlot enterprise fattened 50,000 lambs from August, 1973, through May, 1974. Of those that died during that period, 96 were necropsied; of this number 27 (28%) were infected with cysticeri. The parasites produced bore channels in livers and bladder worms on viscera. Some lesions were assessable for their duration of infection.
